- Change From Baseline in Annualized Growth Velocity (AGV) at Week 52 [ Time Frame: At Baseline and Week 52 ]
AGV at a Post-baseline Visit is defined as [(Height at Post-baseline Visit - Height at Baseline)/(Date of Post-baseline Visit - Date of Baseline Assessment)] x 365.25
AGV at Baseline is defined as [(Height at Baseline - last height measurement in Study 111-901 at least 6 months prior to Baseline)/(Date of Baseline Assessment - Date of last height measurement in Study 111-901 at least 6 months prior to Baseline)] x 365.25
- Change From Baseline in Height Z-score at Week 52 [ Time Frame: At baseline and Week 52 ]
Z-Scores were derived using age-sex specific reference data (means and SDS) for average stature children per the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
A height Z score of 0 would indicate that the subject's height is equal to the mean height for the average stature population of the same sex and age.
A positive height Z score indicates that the subjects height is above the mean height for the average stature population of the same sex and age, whilst a negative height Z score indicates that the subjects height is below the mean height for the average stature population of the same sex and age.
To conclude if the height Z score increases then this means the height deficit has decreased.
- Change From Baseline in Upper to Lower Segment Body Ratio at Week 52 [ Time Frame: At baseline and Week 52 ]Evaluate change from baseline in mean upper:lower segment body ratio in subjects treated with BMN 111 compared with control subjects in the placebo group at 52 weeks
- Summary of Subjects Experiencing Adverse Events (AEs) During Treatment [ Time Frame: Up to Week 56 ]
AEs with onset or worsening after the initiation of study drug and up to 30 days after study drug discontinuation were included.

Ages Eligible for Study: | 5 Years to 18 Years (Child, Adult) |
Sexes Eligible for Study: | All |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Inclusion Criteria
- Parent(s) or guardian(s) consent
- 5 to < 18 years old
- ACH, documented and confirmed by genetic testing
- At least a 6-month period of pretreatment growth assessment in Study 111-901 before study entry
- If sexually active, willing to use a highly effective method of contraception
- Ambulatory and able to stand without assistance
Exclusion criteria:
- Hypochondroplasia or short stature condition other than ACH
-
Have any of the following:
- Hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism
- Insulin-requiring diabetes mellitus
- Autoimmune inflammatory disease
- Inflammatory bowel disease
- Autonomic neuropathy
-
History of any of the following:
- Renal insufficiency defined as serum creatinine > 2 mg/dL
- Chronic anemia
- Baseline systolic blood pressure (BP) < 70 millimeters of mercury (mm Hg) or recurrent symptomatic hypotension (defined as episodes of low BP generally accompanied by symptoms ie, dizziness, fainting) or recurrent symptomatic orthostatic hypotension
-
Cardiac or vascular disease
- Have a clinically significant finding or arrhythmia on screening electrocardiogram (ECG) that indicates abnormal cardiac function or conduction or Fridericias corrected QTc-F > 450 msec
- Have an unstable condition likely to require surgical intervention during the study (including progressive cervical medullary compression or severe untreated sleep apnea)
- Decreased growth velocity (< 1.5 cm/yr) over a period of 6 months or evidence of growth plate closure (proximal tibia, distal femur)
- Treated with growth hormone, insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1), or anabolic steroids in the previous 6 months or treatment greater than 6 months at any time
- Greater than 1 month treatment with oral corticosteroids (low-dose ongoing inhaled steroid for asthma, or intranasal steroids, are acceptable) in the previous 12 months
- Planned or expected to have limb-lengthening surgery during the study period. Subjects with previous limb- lengthening surgery may enroll if surgery occurred at least 18 months prior to the study and healing is complete without sequelae.
- Planned or expected bone-related surgery (ie. surgery involving disruption of bone cortex, excluding tooth extraction), during the study period. Subjects with previous bone-related surgery may enroll if surgery occurred at least 6 months prior to the study and healing is complete without sequelae.
- Had a fracture of the long bones or spine within 6 months prior to screening
- History of severe untreated sleep apnea
- New initiation of sleep apnea treatment (e.g. CPAP or sleep apnea-mitigating surgery) in the previous 2 months prior to screening
- History of hip surgery or hip dysplasia atypical for achondroplastic subjects
- History of clinically significant hip injury in the 30 days prior to screening
- History of slipped capital femoral epiphysis or avascular necrosis of the femoral head
- Abnormal findings on baseline clinical hip exam or imaging assessments that are determined to be clinically significant
- Concurrent disease or condition that would interfere with study participation or safety evaluations, for any reason
- Condition or circumstance that places the subject at high risk for poor treatment compliance or for not completing the study
