IH Market News
Shares of BioMarin Pharmaceutical (NASDAQ:BMRN) and Ascendis Pharma (NASDAQ:ASND) fell roughly 6% after rival BridgeBio Pharma (NASDAQ:BBIO) reported encouraging Phase 3 results for its experimental achondroplasia therapy.BridgeBio said its oral drug infigratinib achieved the primary endpoint in the late-stage PROPEL 3 trial, delivering superior annualized height velocity compared with placebo. The company cited a mean treatment difference of +2.10 cm per year, and noted the therapy also produced the first statistically significant improvement in body proportionality versus placebo in a randomized achondroplasia study.The update is viewed as a potential competitive challenge to BioMarin’s Voxzogo, currently the only treatment for achondroplasia approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.Ascendis, meanwhile, is awaiting a regulatory decision on its once-weekly injectable therapy for achondroplasia, with potential FDA approval expected by February 28. Its shares also retreated following the BridgeBio announcement.Investors appear to be weighing the potential advantages of BridgeBio’s oral formulation, which showed strong efficacy and no serious adverse events linked to the study drug. The company plans to file regulatory submissions in the second half of 2026.Achondroplasia is a rare genetic disorder that affects bone growth, occurring in roughly one in 15,000 to 40,000 births. An estimated 55,000 people across the U.S. and European Union are living with the condition.BioMarin Pharmaceutical stock priceAscendis Pharma stock priceBridgeBio Pharma stock price

Ascendis Pharma A/S on Wednesday said the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved its Skytrofa as a treatment for Pediatric Growth Hormone Deficiency.

The company said Skytrofa, or lonapegsomatropin-tcgd, is the first once-weekly treatment approved to treat Pediatric Growth Hormone Deficiency.

The company also said Skytrofa was approved to treat "pediatric patients one year and older who weigh at least 11.5 kg and have growth failure due to inadequate secretion of endogenous growth hormone."

The company said the approval includes its Skytrofa Auto-Injector and cartridges, which enable families to store the medicine at room temperature for up to six months.

The company said availability of Skytrofa in the U.S. is expected soon.

Ascendis said it would hold an investor conference call at 4:30 p.m. ET today.
