#DNADay23 – Today is the #perfectdate because today marks 20 years since the successful completion of the Human Genome Project in 2003 and the discovery of #DNA's double helix by James Watson and Francis Crick in 1953! 🧬

Let’s continue the celebration of #genomics, specifically surrounding #achondroplasia, this summer at the 5th Annual @achondroplasiaresearch conference, @pharmachon!

This event brings together a community collaborating to understand the new innovations surrounding #FGFR3, the gene that makes up achondroplasia.

When you attend #PHARMACHON, you will have the opportunity to learn about innovations, collaborations, and advancements surrounding achondroplasia directly from the researchers and physicians themselves.

Register today through the link in bio, or by visiting pharmachon.org

DO YOU KNOW DR. RAVI…in other words, the special guest at @pharmachon??? Many of you answered and more than half of you said, “YES” 🤩

This summer, June 16-18, 2023, you can MEET Professor Ravi “Dr. Ravi” Savarirayan IN PERSON at the @chandlerproject’s 5th Annual #AchondroplasiaResearch Conference in Chicago! (#PHARMACHON) 🧬

Since it’s the fifth year of the ONLY conference in the U.S. where patients, parents & caregivers affected by #achondroplasia can hear about the latest research & developments surrounding pharmaceutical treatments (approved and in pipeline) directly from the researchers and physicians, we decided to give the conference a new name 🥳

More details about the event will be announced soon, but for now…
Registration is LIVE and Dr. Ravi CAN’T WAIT to meet you in Chicago!
June 16-18 at the @interconchicago
[ same city, weekend, and hotel as last year’s conference! ] 🏙️

#REPOST from @orthodoctorphil, Assistant Director

#REPOST from @orthodoctorphil, Assistant Director of @limblengthmd at @lifebridgehealth –

"Achondroplasia is the most common skeletal dysplasia. Fortunately, new medications have allowed medical treatment for aspects of Achondroplasia that were previously untreatable or required surgical correction.

Will the medical interventions be enough to restore functional height (>143cm) and humeral length to allow smooth activities of daily living?

Only time will tell...

For patients who have missed the window for medical intervention, or who are looking for additional treatment, distraction osteogenesis provides excellent results under expert supervision.

In this patient over 10cm of height were gained and over 10cm of length gained in the humerus, improving function.

MARCH 6, 2023 – #BridgeBio Announces Positive Phase 2 Cohort 5 Results of #Infigratinib in #Achondroplasia Demonstrating Mean Increase in Annualized Height Velocity of 3.03 cm/year with No Treatment-related Adverse Events

– In the highest dose level (Cohort 5, 0.25 mg/kg once daily), the mean change from baseline in annualized height velocity (AHV) at six months was +3.03 cm/yr (p = 0.0022) for the first 10 children with at least six months of follow-up in Cohort 5. The two remaining children who have not yet had six months of follow-up have a mean change from baseline in AHV of +8.8 cm/yr based on three months data

– 80% of children at six months were responders, as defined by an increase from baseline AHV of at least 25%. The mean change from baseline in AHV of responders was 3.81 cm/yr

– As a result of treatment, the median absolute AHV reached 7.6 cm/yr, which is beyond the 99th percentile of growth for children living with achondroplasia

– Infigratinib demonstrated clear dose-responsiveness as a single daily oral therapy and was well-tolerated with no adverse events (AEs) assessed as treatment-related in Cohort 5

– Based on the positive Phase 2 results, BridgeBio has started to enroll children for a pivotal Phase 3 trial

– BridgeBio expects to initiate clinical development of infigratinib for #hypochondroplasia, a skeletal dysplasia closely related to achondroplasia and driven by fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 (FGFR3) gain-of-function variants, and will continue to explore the impact on the medical and functional complications of achondroplasia in future studies of infigratinib
