Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Inclusion criteria Individuals eligible to participate in this study must meet all of the following inclusion criteria: 1. Parent(s) or guardian(s) are willing and able to provide written, signed informed consent after the nature of the study has been explained and prior to performance of any research-related procedure. Also, subjects under the age of majority in their country are willing and able to provide written assent (if required by local regulations or the IRB/EC) after the nature of the study has been explained and prior to performance of any research-related procedure. Subjects who reach the age of majority in their country 18 years while the study is ongoing will be asked to provide their own written consent. 2. 5 to < 18 years old at study entry 3. Have ACH, documented by clinical grounds and confirmed by genetic testing 4. Have at least a 6-month period of pretreatment growth assessments, including standing height, and are currently active participants in 111-901 5. Females over 10 years old or who have begun menses must have a negative pregnancy test at the Screening Visit and be willing to have additional pregnancy tests during the study 6. If sexually active, willing to use a highly effective method of contraception while participating in the study 7. Are ambulatory and able to stand without assistance 8. Are willing and able to perform all study procedures as physically possible 9. Caregivers are willing to administer daily injections to the subjects and complete the required training
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: -Hyochondroplasia or short stature condition other than ACH -Have any of the following: *Hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism *Insulin-requiring diabetes mellitus *Autoimmune inflammatory disease *Inflammatory bowel disease *Autonomic neuropathy -History of any of the following: *Renal insufficiency defined as serum creatinine > 2 mg/dL *Chronic anemia *Baseline systolic blood pressure (BP) 450 msec -Have an unstable condition likely to require surgical intervention during the study (including progressive cervical medullary compression or severe untreated sleep apnea) -Decreased growth velocity (<1.5 cm/yr) over a period of 6 months or evidence of growth plate closure (proximal tibia, distal femur) -Treated with growth hormone, insulin-like growth factor 1(IGF-1), or anabolic steroids in the previous 6 months or treatment greater than 6 months at any time -Greater than 1 month treatment with oral corticosteroids (low-dose ongoing inhaled steroid for asthma, or intranasal steroids, are acceptable) in the previous 12 months -Planned or expected to have limb-lengthening surgery during the study period. Subjects with previous limb- lengthening surgery may enroll if surgery occurred at least 18 months prior to the study and healing is complete without sequelae. -Planned or expected bone-related surgery (ie. surgery involving disruption of bone cortex, excluding tooth extraction), during the study period. Subjects with previous bone-related surgery may enroll if surgery occurred at least 6 months prior to the study and healing is complete without sequelae. -Had a fracture of the long bones or spine within 6 months prior to screening -History of severe untreated sleep apnea -New initiation of sleep apnea treatment (e.g. CPAP or sleep apnea-mitigating surgery) in the previous 2 months prior to screening -History of hip surgery or hip dysplasia atypical for achondroplastic subjects -History of clinically significant hip injury in the 30 days prior to screening -History of slipped capital femoral epiphysis or avascular necrosis of the femoral head -Abnormal findings on baseline clinical hip exam or imaging assessments that are determined to be clinically significant -Concurrent disease or condition that would interfere with study participation or safety evaluations, for any reason -Condition or circumstance that places the subject at high risk for poor treatment compliance or for not completing the study
