    Abstract: Achondroplasia (ACH) is the most common short-limbed skeletal dysplasia, affecting between 1 in 15,000 to 1 in 30,000 live births. People with ACH are at risk for several significant co-morbidities, including foramen magnum stenosis, obstructive sleep apnea, chronic otitis media with conductive hearing loss, spinal stenosis, and a propensity towards obesity. PROPEL is a prospective, non-interventional study designed to examine baseline growth parameters and health status in children being assessed for potential enrollment into interventional studies with infigratinib, an oral FGFR1–3 inhibitor in development as a therapeutic option for ACH. Here we describe the medical complications reported as medical history in the PROPEL study. Methods Children with ACH between the ages of 2.5 and 10 years are eligible for enrollment in PROPEL and are evaluated at screening/baseline, month 3, month 6, and every 6 months thereafter. Medical history collected at screening/baseline is summarized using system organ class and preferred terms. Results A total of 86 children with ACH (60% female, mean±SD age 6.1±2.5 years) have been enrolled to date at 19 sites in Europe, Australia and North America. Fifty-eight children had undergone surgical and medical procedures with a mean of 2.9 procedures per child (1–11 surgeries/subject). The most common procedures were pressure-equalizing ear tube insertion, adenoidectomy and tonsillectomy. Twenty-one (24%) children had undergone at least 1 surgery (1–5 surgeries/child) for spine or cranial decompression. History of infections and respiratory disorders were reported in 46 (53%) and 40 (47%) children, respectively, the most common being ear infections and obstructive sleep apnea. Musculoskeletal disorders were described in 33 (38%) children, with kyphosis being the most common. Hydrocephalus was reported in 2 children, while 4 had ventriculomegaly without intracranial hypertension. Congenital cardiovascular abnormalities were found in 4 children, 2 of whom presented with patent ductus arteriosus and 2 had patent foramen ovale. A comprehensive summary of medical histories will be presented at the conference. Conclusions The PROPEL study has a planned total enrollment of 200 children and seeks to contribute to the deeper understanding of the natural history of ACH. Data described here highlight the significant complications and high number of interventions that children with ACH undergo throughout infancy and childhood. This stresses the importance of expert management of this complex condition. Presentation: Monday, June 13, 2022 12:30 p.m. - 2:30 p.m., Monday, June 13, 2022 1:05 p.m. - 1:10 p.m.

Background: Achondroplasia (ACH) is the most common form of short-limbed skeletal dysplasias and is caused by an activating pathogenic variant of the fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 (FGFR3) gene. People with ACH are at risk for several significant co-morbidities, including foramen magnum stenosis, obstructive sleep apnea, chronic otitis media with conductive hearing loss, spinal stenosis, and a propensity towards obesity. Decreased bone mass has been observed previously in gain-of-function mutation Fgfr3 mice, and adults with ACH can have a decrease in bone mineral density (BMD). Here we describe baseline BMD of a cohort of children with ACH participating in PROPEL 2, a proof-of-concept study evaluating preliminary efficacy and safety of infigratinib, an oral FGFR-1-3 tyrosine kinase inhibitor in development for ACH. Methods: Dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scans of the spine (L1-4) were collected at baseline in children participating in PROPEL 2 using a Hologic or GE Lunar scanner following a pre-specified image acquisition procedure. Images were evaluated by a single reviewer. Results are expressed as z-score for age and sex based on average-height children. Results: 52 children (mean±SD age: 7.97±1.9 years; 29 female; mean±SD height z-score: -5.4±1) were included in this analysis. BMD of the lumbar spine was -0.96±0.9 SDS (min -4.1; max 0.7 SDS). No statistical difference was found between males and females. 85% of children (n=44) had a BMD & lt;0 SDS, from which 21 (40%) had a BMD between -2 and & lt; -1 SDS, 18 (35%) presented a BMD between -1 and 0, and 5 (10%) presented a BMD & lt; -2 SDS. Eight children (15%) had a BMD & gt;0 SDS. No correlations were observed between BMD and age, height z-score or BMI. Conclusion: Our findings show that lumbar spine BMD is lower in children with ACH compared with normative data from children of average height. Low BMD in the context of short stature is difficult to interpret, raising the question of the degree to which low bone status can be attributed to smaller bone size relative to age. Even though our findings do not take into account children’s height, no correlation between BMD and baseline height z-score was identified in this cohort, suggesting that the findings may not be solely attributable to overall height. These findings reinforce the need to better understand how to circumvent this limitation in children with skeletal dysplasias in order to improve DXA interpretation and avoid misdiagnoses.

Background: Achondroplasia (ACH), the most common short-limbed skeletal dysplasia, is characterized by defective endochondral ossification resulting from gain-of-function mutations in the fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 (FGFR3) gene, a negative regulator of endochondral bone formation. Infigratinib is a selective, orally bioavailable FGFR1-3 tyrosine kinase inhibitor being investigated for the treatment of ACH in the observational and 2 interventional studies, as detailed below. Methods: PROPEL (NCT04035811) is a non-interventional clinical assessment study designed to characterize the natural history of ∼250 children 2.5 to & lt;17 years of age with ACH over a 6−24-month period. Primary objective: collect baseline height velocity measurements in children who may participate in an interventional study with infigratinib. Primary endpoint: annualized growth velocity (AGV). Further objectives: collect other baseline growth measurements; evaluate exploratory biomarker indicators of growth; assess ACH-related medical events reported as medical history, or non-treatment adverse events (AEs), health-related quality of life, body pain, functional abilities and cognitive functions in children with ACH. PROPEL 2 (NCT04265651) is a phase 2, open-label study of infigratinib in children 3−11 years of age with ACH who completed ≥6 months of observation in PROPEL. This study includes dose-escalation (extended dose-finding treatment phase, n≥40), a pharmacokinetics sub-study (n≥18), and a dose-expansion phase (n≈20) to confirm the selected dose and provide evidence of efficacy. Primary endpoints: AEs; change from baseline in AGV; and infigratinib pharmacokinetics. Secondary endpoints: safety/tolerability of infigratinib; changes from baseline in anthropometric parameters. Exploratory outcomes: changes in quality of life (QoL) and other parameters of disease burden. PROPEL OLE (NCT05145010) is a phase 2, open-label extension study in ∼230 children who completed an interventional study with infigratinib and, potentially, in ≤50 infigratinib-naïve children. Primary objectives: safety, tolerability; and efficacy of long-term daily doses of infigratinib. Secondary objectives: changes in other indicators of growth/development, skeletal abnormalities, QoL/disease burden, and cognitive functions. Children may receive infigratinib until they reach final height. Summary: The PROPEL, PROPEL 2, and PROPEL OLE studies are ongoing. Together, they are intended to contribute to the understanding of the natural history of ACH, provide key evidence on the safety and efficacy of oral infigratinib, including QoL and skeletal changes in children with ACH, and inform the design of future studies in this setting.

    Abstract: Achondroplasia is the most common short-limbed skeletal dysplasia resulting from gain-of-function pathogenic variants in fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 ( FGFR3) gene, a negative regulator of endochondral bone formation. Most treatment options are symptomatic, targeting medical complications. Infigratinib is an orally bioavailable, FGFR1–3 selective tyrosine kinase inhibitor being investigated as a direct therapeutic strategy to counteract FGFR3 overactivity in achondroplasia. Objectives: The main objective of PROPEL is to collect baseline data of children with achondroplasia being considered for future enrollment in interventional studies sponsored by QED Therapeutics. The objectives of PROPEL 2 are to obtain preliminary evidence of safety and efficacy of oral infigratinib in children with achondroplasia, to identify the infigratinib dose to be explored in future studies, and to characterize the pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of infigratinib and major metabolites. Design: PROPEL (NCT04035811) is a prospective, noninterventional clinical study designed to characterize the natural history and collect baseline data of children with achondroplasia over 6−24 months. PROPEL 2 (NCT04265651), a prospective, phase II, open-label study of infigratinib in children with achondroplasia, consists of a dose-escalation, dose-finding, and dose-expansion phase to confirm the selected dose, and a PK substudy. Methods and analysis: Children aged 3−11 years with achondroplasia who completed ⩾6 months in PROPEL are eligible for PROPEL 2. Primary endpoints include treatment-emergent adverse events and change from baseline in annualized height velocity. Four cohorts at ascending dose levels are planned for dose escalation. The selected dose will be confirmed in the dose-expansion phase. Ethics: PROPEL and PROPEL 2 are being conducted in accordance with the International Conference on Harmonization Good Clinical Practice guidelines, principles of the Declaration of Helsinki, and relevant human clinical research and data privacy regulations. Protocols have been approved by local health authorities, ethics committees, and institutions as applicable. Parents/legally authorized representatives are required to provide signed informed consent; signed informed assent by the child is also required, where applicable. Discussion: PROPEL and PROPEL 2 will provide preliminary evidence of the safety and efficacy of infigratinib as precision treatment of children with achondroplasia and will inform the design of future studies of FGFR-targeted agents in achondroplasia. Registration: ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT04035811; NCT04265651.

    Abstract: Achondroplasia (ACH), the most common non-lethal form of skeletal dysplasia, is characterized by defective endochondral ossification resulting from gain-of-function mutations in the fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 (FGFR3) gene, a negative regulator of endochondral bone formation. Infigratinib, a selective, orally bioavailable FGFR1–3 tyrosine kinase inhibitor, has been shown to reverse established growth arrest in chondrocytes and improve foramen magnum and long bone length in Fgfr3Y367C/+ mice. Infigratinib is being investigated for the treatment of ACH in the PROPEL program of three clinical trials: 1) PROPEL, designed to collect information on the natural history of ACH; 2) PROPEL2, designed to obtain preliminary evidence of efficacy and safety and to identify the dose of infigratinib to investigate further; 3) PROPEL OLE, which is designed to evaluate the long-term efficacy and safety of infigratinib in children with ACH. Methods PROPEL (NCT04035811) is a non-interventional clinical assessment study designed to characterize the natural history of up to 200 children aged 2.5–10 years with ACH over a 6−24-month period. The primary objective is to collect baseline height velocity measurements in children who may participate in an interventional study with infigratinib. The primary endpoint is the annualized growth velocity (AGV). Further objectives are to collect other baseline growth measurements, evaluate exploratory biomarker indicators of growth, and assess ACH-related medical events reported as medical history, or non-treatment adverse events (AEs). PROPEL2 (NCT04265651) is a phase 2, open-label study of infigratinib in children aged 3−11 years with ACH who completed ≥6 months observation in PROPEL. PROPEL2 includes dose-escalation with an extended dose-finding treatment phase (n≈40), a pharmacokinetics sub-study (n≈18), followed by a dose-expansion phase (n≈20) in which children receive infigratinib for 12 months to confirm the selected dose and provide evidence of efficacy. Primary endpoints are treatment-emergent AEs, change from baseline in AGV, and infigratinib pharmacokinetics. Secondary endpoints include safety/tolerability of infigratinib and changes from baseline in anthropometric parameters, including body proportions. Exploratory outcomes include changes in QoL and other parameters of disease burden. PROPEL OLE (NCT05145010) is a phase 2, open-label extension study in up to 230 children who completed an interventional study with infigratinib and, potentially, in ≤50 who are infigratinib-naive. The primary objectives are to evaluate safety, tolerability, and efficacy of long-term daily doses of infigratinib. Secondary objectives include evaluation of changes in other indicators of growth and development, and evaluation of QoL and disease burden. Children will receive infigratinib until they reach final/near final height. Summary PROPEL, PROPEL2, and PROPEL OLE are currently ongoing. Together, these studies are intended to provide key evidence on the safety and efficacy of oral infigratinib in children with ACH and will inform the design of future studies in this setting.

    Abstract: Achondroplasia (ACH) is the most common short-limbed skeletal dysplasia, affecting between 1 in 15,000 to 1 in 30,000 live births. Children and adults with ACH have disproportionate short stature and are at risk for several significant co-morbidities, including obstructive sleep apnea, chronic otitis media with conductive hearing loss, and spinal stenosis. Obesity is a health problem in ACH and aggravates breathing difficulties (i.e. sleep apnea), back and joint pain, and reduced mobility. Individuals with ACH are predisposed to abdominal obesity, although the cause is not completely understood. The metabolic effect of visceral obesity does not suggest an association with the development of a diabetic profile. The objective of this study is to evaluate body mass index (BMI) and metabolic parameters in children with ACH participating in the PROPEL study, a prospective, non-interventional study designed to examine baseline growth parameters and health status in children being assessed for potential enrollment into interventional studies with infigratinib, an oral FGFR1–3 inhibitor in development for ACH. Methods Data were analyzed from 86 children (mean age 6.1±2.5 years; female n=52) enrolled in PROPEL. BMI was calculated at enrollment and compared with sex- and age-specific BMI curves for children with ACH in the United States. Cholesterol, triglycerides, and hemoglobin A1c were measured centrally in a subset of children. Results BMI (mean±SD) was 21.2±2.2 in females (range 16.8–26.2) and 20.5±1.6 in males (range 17.9–24.6), with 8/52 girls (15%) and 1/34 boys (2.9%) presenting BMI above the 95% of the sex- and age-specific BMI curves for ACH. The mean±SD for cholesterol and triglycerides measured in a subset of 43 children were 4.2±0.7 mmol/L (normal range [NR] 2.59–4.66) and 0.9±0.5 mmol/L (NR 0.56–1.36), respectively. Cholesterol was elevated in 9/43 children (20.9%), while triglycerides were high in 8/43 (18.7%). Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) was measured in 28 children and had a mean±SD of 0.052±0.002 (NR Hb fraction 0.04–0.06). Although all values were within normal ranges, 19/28 (68%) of children had values above the mean for laboratory reference values. Conclusion Results from this work illustrate the importance of using BMI tables developed for children with ACH when providing guidance on weight management. Furthermore, our findings suggest that, in this cohort, average cholesterol and HbA1c levels, although normal, are above the mean for the reference population; this highlights the importance of a healthy diet, weight management and regular physical activity starting at young age. Additional studies are needed to understand the relationship between BMI and body composition in individuals with short stature and to further investigate the clinical relevance of these findings given that no association between increased BMI and metabolic syndrome has been described in adults with ACH.

Background: Achondroplasia (ACH), the most common short-limbed skeletal dysplasia, is characterized by impaired endochondral ossification resulting from gain-of-function pathogenic variants in the fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 (FGFR3) gene, a negative regulator of endochondral bone growth. People with ACH are at risk for several significant co-morbidities, including compression of the brainstem due to foramen magnum stenosis, sleep-disordered breathing, chronic otitis media with conductive hearing loss, and symptomatic spinal stenosis. Infigratinib is an oral, selective FGFR1-3 tyrosine kinase inhibitor being investigated for the treatment of children with ACH in a phase 2 interventional study (PROPEL 2). Methods: PROPEL 2 (NCT04265651) is a phase 2 dose-finding, open-label study of infigratinib in children 3−11 years of age with ACH who participated for ≥6 months in PROPEL (NCT04035811), a non-interventional clinical assessment study. The PROPEL 2 dose-escalation (DE) phase comprises 5 ascending dose cohorts ranging from 0.016 mg/kg/day to 0.25 mg/kg/day. The primary endpoints are safety; change from baseline (BL) in annualized height velocity (AHV); and infigratinib pharmacokinetics in this population. Secondary endpoints include changes from BL in body proportions, and changes in quality of life. Other parameters of disease burden are evaluated as exploratory endpoints. Summary: Children enrolled in the PROPEL 2 DE phase completed ≥6 months of treatment at the assigned cohort dose. Cohorts 1-3 (n=37; doses 0.016, 0.032, and 0.064 mg/kg/day) did not show a significant increase in AHV and these doses were assessed as non-efficacious. Treatment at the cohort 4 dose (0.128 mg/kg/day) resulted in an increase in AHV from BL of 1.52 cm/year in children ≥5 years old (n=11; p=0.02). Infigratinib at the cohort 5 dose (n=10 with month 6 data, 0.25 mg/kg/day) resulted in a significant mean increase from BL of 3.03 cm/year (p=0.0022). In children considered responders (Δ in AHV ≥25% from BL, n=8/10), the mean change in AHV at the cohort 5 dose was +3.81±1.8 cm/year, with a median of +4.14 cm/year. Infigratinib was well tolerated with no serious AEs or AEs that led to study discontinuation, with most AEs mild or moderate in severity. At the cohort 5 dose level, no grade 3 AEs or treatment-related AEs were reported. Conclusion: Oral infigratinib in children with ACH, up to a dose of 0.25 mg/kg/day, was well tolerated and showed dose-dependent increases in AHV, with a significant mean change from BL of +3.03cm/year at the cohort 5 dose. The safety and efficacy of this oral, once-daily dose of infigratinib at 0.25 mg/kg/day will be further explored in a phase 3 randomized controlled study. If these phase 2 data are confirmed, infigratinib could potentially offer children with ACH the first safe and effective oral therapy to improve growth, enhance functionality and decrease medical complications.
