These analyses showed treatment with TransCon CNP decreased upper-to-lower body segment ratio from baseline to Week 52 and improved tibial-femoral angle (TFA), mechanical axis deviation (MAD), and fibula-to-tibia length ratio from baseline to Week 52 compared to placebo.<\/p>\n<p>In the trial, treatment with TransCon CNP resulted in numerical improvements in health-related quality of life compared to placebo, as measured across several Achondroplasia Child Experience Measure (ACEM) domains. The benefits of TransCon CNP were achieved without accelerating bone age or negatively affecting spinal curvature. In the trial, TransCon CNP demonstrated a safety and tolerability profile similar to placebo, with the majority of adverse events (AEs) mild or moderate. Injection site reaction rates were low, and no observed symptomatic hypotension or bone fractures were reported.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAcross our development programs for TransCon CNP, we strive to demonstrate benefits that the achondroplasia community have told us are important to them,\u201d said Aimee Shu, M.D., Executive Vice President of Endocrine &amp; Rare Disease Medical Science and Chief Medical Officer at Ascendis Pharma. \u201cWe are therefore especially pleased to see these overall results of our pivotal trial for TransCon CNP, including results that go beyond linear growth, published in this prestigious journal.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>TransCon CNP as a potential treatment for children with achondroplasia is under Priority Review by the\u00a0U.S. Food &amp; Drug Administration (Prescription Drug User Fee Act target date November 30, 2025) and is also under review by the European Medicines Agency.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>About Achondroplasia<\/strong><br \/>\n        <br \/>Achondroplasia is a rare genetic condition arising from a systemic fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 (FGFR3) variant that leads to an imbalance in the effects of the FGFR3 and CNP signaling pathways, estimated to affect more than 250,000 individuals worldwide. While historically considered a bone growth disorder, the FGFR3 variant seen in achondroplasia is expressed in tissues throughout the body, causing serious muscular, neurological, and cardiorespiratory complications in addition to skeletal dysplasia. Medical complications of achondroplasia vary across different stages of life. Throughout infancy and childhood, observed complications include spinal abnormalities, enlarged brain ventricles, impaired muscle strength and stamina, hearing deficits and chronic ear infections, upper airway obstructions, sleep-disordered breathing, hip problems, leg bowing, and chronic pain; many of these persist or worsen in adulthood. These medical complications can have detrimental effects on quality of life, physical functioning, and psychosocial function. Individuals with achondroplasia often require multiple surgeries and procedures to alleviate the condition\u2019s many complications.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>About Ascendis Pharma A\/S<\/strong><br \/>\n        <br \/>Ascendis Pharma is a global biopharmaceutical company focused on applying our innovative TransCon technology platform to make a meaningful difference for patients.
