The FDA has cleared Abbisko Therapeutics' IND application for ABSK061, an oral FGFR2/3 inhibitor for achondroplasia, while BridgeBio reports positive Phase 3 results for its oral infigratinib in the same condition. Both companies are advancing oral therapies targeting FGFR3 overactivity in this genetic growth disorder.
The FDA approved navepegritide, a once-weekly injectable therapy for achondroplasia, while phase 3 data showed infigratinib, an investigational oral medication, achieved the highest growth velocity reported in randomized trials for the condition.
The FDA has granted accelerated approval for YUVIWEL (navepegritide), the first once-weekly treatment for children with achondroplasia. Commercial availability is expected in early Q2 2026, with a Rare Pediatric Disease Priority Review Voucher granted.
