This is a Phase 2, open-label multi-center long-term extension study, with approximately 70 subjects, to evaluate the safety and efficacy of BMN111 in children with Achondroplasia until subjects reach near-adult final height. Eligible subjects will have completed 1 year of BMN111 or placebo treatment in the 111-206 study and once enrolled in the 111-208 extension study will receive a daily dose of BMN111 by subcutaneous injection according to their age as determined by 111-206.
Phase 2 trials begin testing efficacy in a larger patient group (100–300). This is often where biotech binary events occur — positive Phase 2 data can significantly advance a company's pipeline narrative, while failures can be terminal for a program.
Enrollment is complete. The trial is in its follow-up or data collection phase — a readout may occur on or near the primary completion date.
BioMarin Pharmaceutical (BMRN) is the sponsoring company for this trial. BiotechSign currently grades this company D (49/100) based on composite catalyst signals across its full pipeline. This trial is one data point in that overall catalyst picture.
