Summary
This trial is testing vosoritide, a medication that helps children grow taller by targeting their bone growth areas. It is aimed at children with genetic conditions that cause short stature. The medication works by mimicking a natural substance in the body to stimulate bone growth.

Experimental Treatment
Group I: Genetic Short StatureExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Vosoritide, also known as BMN 111 or modified recombinant human C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP), is a 39-amino-acid peptide analog that includes the 37 C-terminal amino acids of the human CNP53 sequence plus the addition of 2 amino acids (Pro-Gly) on the N-terminus. This structural modification conveys resistance to neutral endopeptidase (NEP) degradation, resulting in prolonged half-life (t1/2) in comparison to endogenous CNP. This increase in t1/2 allows once daily subcutaneous (SC) administration.
Vosoritide will be administered as a single 15 μg/kg subcutaneous injection given daily for 12 months.
