The company announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted priority review to its application seeking approval for the investigational oral drug infigratinib for the treatment of children with achondroplasia, the most common type of dwarfism.

The drug also improved arm span and body proportions in children under eight years old. No serious adverse events or discontinuations related to the drug were reported.
