What is this trial about?

This is a Phase 2, open-label, sequential cohort dose-escalation study of BMN 111 in children with achondroplasia. The primary objective is to assess the safety and tolerability of daily BMN 111 administered to children with achondroplasia.

What are the participation requirements?

Yes
