Vosoritide is a C-type Natriuretic Peptide (CNP) analogue therapy for treatment of achondroplasia. Vosoritide acts on growth plate chondrocytes through the Natriuretic Peptide Receptor-B to stimulate increased endochondral bone growth, leading to increased growth velocity in treated subjects. In Phase II clinical studies, subject blood and urine samples were analyzed to monitor putative bone growth biomarkers including cross-linked C-terminal telopeptides of collagen II (CTxII...

Objectives: Vosoritide is a C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) analog that binds its receptor on chondrocytes, promoting growth by inhibiting the ERK1/2-MAPK pathway. We previously reported the results of a Phase II study in children with hypochondroplasia. Vosoritide led to an average increase in annualized growth velocity (GV) of 1.81 cm/year and gain of 0.36 in height SD over 12 months. We present here the pharmacokinetic/ pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) data from th...
