The first clinical trial of vosoritide for children with hypochondroplasia has shown increased growth. The trial, conducted by researchers, involved children aged 5 to 14 years with hypochondroplasia, a rare genetic disorder that causes short stature. Vosoritide is a synthetic form of a hormone that regulates bone growth. The results of the trial showed that children who received vosoritide experienced significant increases in their height compared to those who received a placebo.
The findings suggest that vosoritide may be an effective treatment for hypochondroplasia and could potentially improve the quality of life for affected children
