The FDA approved Yuviwel, a weekly treatment for children with achondroplasia, to improve growth.
The FDA has approved Ascendis Pharma’s Yuviwel (navepegritide), the first once-weekly treatment for children aged 2 and older with achondroplasia, a rare genetic disorder causing dwarfism.
The accelerated approval, based on three clinical trials including a pivotal Phase III study, showed significantly improved growth velocity and other key outcomes compared to placebo, with a safety profile similar to placebo.
The drug, which counteracts overactive FGFR3 signaling, is expected to be available in the U.S. in the second quarter of 2026.
The approval includes a rare pediatric disease priority review voucher.
