Eligibility
Recruits 39 paediatric patients.
- Vulnerable Population
- Participants are infants and young children (0 to < 36 months). Parent(s) or guardian(s) must provide written, signed informed consent prior to any research procedures (see inclusion criterion 5). Parent(s)/caregiver(s) are also required to be willing to administer daily injections and complete required training (see inclusion criterion 6). Assent is not applicable due to the participants' age.
Inclusion criteria
- {"criterion_text":"- 1. Participants must be 0 to < 36 months of age at randomization.\n- 2. Participants must have a confirmed genetic diagnosis of HCH (obtained via whole genome sequencing; presence of a FGFR3 pathogenic variant associated with HCH). Genetic confirmation of disease can be obtained either in Study 111-902 or during the Screening period of 111-212 (Appendix 4).\n- 3. Participants aged 0 to < 12 months must have a height Z-score of ≤ −1.0 SDS and participants aged ≥ 12 to < 36 months must have a height Z-score of ≤ −2.0 SDS in reference to the average stature of the same sex and age, as calculated using the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) growth charts (https://www.cdc.gov/growthcharts/zscore.htm) as assessed at Screening.\n- 4. Participant’s weight at the Day 1 visit (pre-treatment) must be ≥ 3 kg.\n- 5. Parent(s) or guardian(s) are willing and able to provide written, signed informed consent after the nature of the study has been explained and prior to performance of any research-related procedure.\n- 6. Parent(s) or caregiver(s) are willing to administer daily injections to the participants and willing to complete the required training."}
