Achondroplasia (ACH) is a genetic condition that affects children’s growth. People with achondroplasia can have a short stature, shorter legs and arms than the average person, a larger head, and an average-sized torso. Some children with achondroplasia may also have neurological or developmental challenges.

CNP is a hormone produced by the body that plays an important role in the bone growth of children. Researchers at Parexel want to understand how a new study drug, TransCon CNP behaves in the body. The study’s hope is to have the study drug approved for the treatment of ACH so that children with this condition may have a new treatment option.

• Participants will be assisting in the search in finding a new treatment for ACH.
• Participants will be contributing valuable information that may benefit those with ACH in the future.
• Participants will be helping to advance medical research.
• Participants will be compensated up to $7000 for participating in this study.

• If you decide to participate in the study and later feel that you no longer wish to be part of it, you can withdraw at any time.
• Any information that you provide will be kept strictly confidential, except as required by law.
