  • At the highest dose level (0.128 mg/kg once daily), the mean increase in annualized height velocity (AHV) was 1.52 cm/yr over baseline in children five years and older. 
  • Earlier cohorts in PROPEL 2 did not achieve the target efficacious exposure as suggested by preclinical data, and no dose-response was observed. 
  • An increase in AHV over a baseline of 0.22 cm/yr was observed across these earlier combined cohorts.

  • A single case of mild hyperphosphatemia (abnormally high serum phosphate levels) led to a dose reduction in a participant in Cohort 3 (dose: 0.064 mg/kg once daily).
  • No children have discontinued treatment as the result of an adverse event. No bone-related AEs were observed to date.
  • BridgeBio has begun enrolling Cohort 5 participants who will receive approximately twice the dose of Cohort 4 (0.25 mg/kg once vs. 0.128 mg/kg once daily).
