A Study Of Safety, Tolerability And Effectiveness Of Recifercept In Children With Achondroplasia
Stopped: The study was terminated due to lack of efficacy at any of the tested doses on 18th November 2022. The decision to terminate the study is not related to a safety concern.

Plain-language summary
Approximately 63 participants will be randomized to one of three doses to receive Recifercept either
* Low Dose
* Medium Dose
* High Dose
Participants will will attend the clinic at baseline and at Day 1, 4, 8, 15, 29 \& then Month 2, 3 6, 9 \& 12. Assessments include safety, blood sampling, physical examination, vital signs, anthropometric body measurements \& patient/caregiver quality of life questionnaires
Participants will received treatment with Recifercept for 12 months. All participants who complete the study and in the opinion of the investigator, continue to have a positive risk:benefit profile, will be offered to enroll into an open-label extension (OLE) study.
A PK cohort will include 12 participants who will randomly receive a single dose of 3 mg/kg of Phase 2 study (process 1c) formulation and a single dose of 3 mg/kg of the proposed Phase 3 (process 2) study formulation in a cross over study. Dose of the cohort could be changed due to emerging safety and efficacy data in the study.

* Documented, confirmed genetic diagnosis of achondroplasia from historical medical records prior to entry into this trial (test must have been performed at a laboratory fully accredited for genetic testing under local regulations).
* Completed the C4181001 natural history study with at least 2 valid height/length measurements (at least 3 months apart) prior to enrollment in this study. One of these measurement timepoints must be within the 3 months prior to enrollment in C4181005.
* Tanner stage 1 based on investigator assessment during physical examination (must include assessment of breast development for females, testicular stage for males).

* If aged \<2 years at enrollment, has a documented historical MRI brain/cervical spine performed in the previous 12 months.
Exclusion Criteria:
* Presence of co-morbid conditions or circumstances that, in the opinion of the investigator, would affect interpretation of growth data or ability to complete the trial procedures.
* Other medical or psychiatric condition including recent (within the past year) or active suicidal ideation/behavior or laboratory abnormality that may increase the risk of …
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
