Inclusion criteria
- Diagnosis of achondroplasia (ACH), confirmed by genetic testing. If subjects had previous genetic testing, subjects must have a lab report from a certified laboratory with the study specific mutation documented.
- Age 0 to < 60 months, at study entry (Day 1)
- Cohort 1 and 2 subjects must have at least a 6-month period of pretreatment growth assessment in Study 111 901 immediately before screening, and have one documented measurement of height/body length a minimum of 6 months prior to the screening visit for 111-206. Cohort 3 subjects must have a minimum of 3 months of observation prior to treatment. This observational period can be obtained either (1) via prior enrollment in Study 111-901 or (2) via enrollment in this Study 111 206 for a minimum of 3 months of non-treatment observation prior to commencement of treatment.
- Parent(s) or guardian(s) (and the subjects themselves, if required by local regulations or ethics committee) are willing and able to provide written, signed informed consent after the nature of the study has been explained and prior to performance of any research-related procedure
- Willing and able to perform all study procedures as physically possible
- Parent(s) or caregiver(s) are willing to administer daily injections to the subjects and complete the required training

Have a clinically significant finding or arrhythmia that indicates abnormal cardiac function or conduction or Fridericia's corrected QT interval (QTc-F) >450 msec on screening ECG
-
Have evidence of cervicomedullary compression (CMC) likely to require surgical intervention within 60 days of Screening as determined by the Investigator based on the following assessments
- Physical exam (e.g., neurologic findings of clonus, opisthotonus, exaggerated reflexes, dilated facial veins)
- Polysomnography (e.g., severe central sleep apnea)
- MRI indicating presence of severe CMC or spinal cord damage
-
Have an unstable medical condition likely to require surgical intervention in the next 6 months, or planned spine or long-bone surgery (i.e., surgery involving significant disruption of bone cortex) during the study period
-
Have documented uncorrected Vitamin D deficiency: 25(OH)D <=15 ng/mL (37.5 nmol/L)
-
Require any other investigational product prior to completion of the study period
-
Have received another investigational product or investigational medical device within 30 days prior to the Screening visit
-
Have used any other investigational product or investigational medical device for the treatment of achondroplasia or short stature at any time
-
Require current chronic therapy with antihypertensive medication or any medication that, in the investigator's judgment, may compromise the safety or ability of the subject to participate in this clinical study (Table 9.3.5.1)
-
Have been treated with growth hormone, insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1), or anabolic steroids in the 6 months prior to screening, or long-term treatment (>3 months) at any time
-
Have had regular long-term treatment (> 1 month) with oral corticosteroids (low-dose ongoing inhaled steroid for asthma, or intranasal steroids, are acceptable) in the 12 months prior to screening
-
Have ever had cervicomedullary decompression surgery (Cohorts 2 and 3 only), spine or long-bone surgery (i.e., surgery involving disruption of bone cortex) or have ever had bone-related surgery with chronic complications
NOTE: Subjects with prior cervicomedullary decompression may be allowed into Cohort 1 only after discussion and agreement with Medical Monitor.

-
Have had a fracture of the long bones or spine within 6 months prior to screening

-
Have any concurrent disease or condition that, in the view of the Investigator, would interfere with study participation or safety evaluations, for any reason
