The US FDA has granted Priority Review to BridgeBio Pharma's oral infigratinib for treating children with achondroplasia, targeting a decision by February 4, 2027. If approved, infigratinib would become the first oral therapy for this condition, currently treated by injectable C-type natriuretic peptide analogs.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Biotech, and 2 sources have reported it.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

Your achondroplasia treatment options just shifted to include an oral drug pending approval. Prepare for new competition that changes delivery and patient preference in paediatric rare disease care.
