BioMarin Pharmaceutical said the Food and Drug Administration
has approved its new drug application to treat all pediatric
patients with a growth condition.
The biotechnology company on Friday said its Voxzogo treatment
is aimed at increasing linear growth and has been approved based on
an improvement in annualized growth velocity.
The medication had previously been indicated for achondroplasia
patients who were 5 years of age and older.
Voxzogo is currently approved in Europe for children with
achondroplasi who are at least 2 years old.
