Official-source update

Reviewed 2026-09-19 · Preserved version 1

Seventy-five enrolled does not mean seventy-five randomized

NCT03583697 enrolled 75 children younger than five: 11 sentinel participants received vosoritide and 64 were randomized equally to vosoritide or placebo. The sentinel and randomized groups serve different purposes. NCT03583697 ↗

More findings and the sources behind them

Selected sponsor-submitted ClinicalTrials.gov records retrieved September 19, 2026, with design, population, endpoint and result-availability checks. This does not complete a registry search or replace primary-publication appraisal.

The growth endpoint requires its analysis population

The primary efficacy outcome was change in height Z-score at week 52. The registry separately reports the randomized comparison and an analysis adding the sentinel group; their modeled estimates should not be merged. NCT03583697 ↗

Safety observations are not all treatment-caused events

The posted table reports adverse events in every group and one death in the randomized vosoritide group. The participant-flow account labels that sudden-infant-death event unrelated, and the safety table reports no treatment-related serious events. These small samples cannot establish a precise rare-event risk. NCT03583697 ↗

The extension is open-label follow-up

NCT03989947 follows 73 participants who completed the earlier study, using a single-group open-label design. Its March 13, 2026 record is active, not recruiting, without posted summary results; it is not an additional independent placebo-controlled trial. NCT03989947 ↗

What remains to be checked

  • Reconcile the young-child publication and regulatory extension with sentinel and randomized populations.
  • Review longer-term developmental, functional and safety follow-up separately from growth endpoints.
