Warnings
Risk of Low Blood Pressure : Transient decreases in blood pressure have been reported. Instruct patients to be well-hydrated and have adequate food intake prior to administration of VOXZOGO ( 5.1 ) Transient decreases in blood pressure were observed in clinical studies of VOXZOGO. Subjects with significant cardiac or vascular disease and patients on anti-hypertensive medicinal products were excluded from participation in VOXZOGO clinical trials. To reduce the risk of a decrease in blood pressure and associated symptoms (dizziness, fatigue and/or nausea), instruct patients to be well hydrated and have adequate food intake prior to administration of VOXZOGO [see Dosage and Administration (2.1) and Adverse Reactions (6.1) ].
Adverse reactions
The following clinically significant adverse reactions are described elsewhere in the labeling:
Use in_specific_populations
Renal Impairment: Not recommended in patients with eGFR < 60 mL/min/1.73 m 2 . ( 8.6 ) Risk Summary There are no available data on vosoritide use in pregnant women to evaluate for a drug-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage, or adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. In animal reproduction studies, there was no evidence of embryo-fetal toxicity or congenital malformations when pregnant rats and rabbits were administered vosoritide subcutaneously at doses equivalent to 14-times and 200-times, respectively, the exposure at the maximum recommended human dose (MRHD) (see Data ). The estimated background risk of major birth defects for the indicated population is higher than the general population. The estimated background risk of miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. All pregnancies have a background risk of birth defect, loss, or other adverse outcomes. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2% to 4% and 15% to 20%, respectively. Data Animal Data In an embryofetal developmental toxicity study in rats, vosoritide was administered at 90, 270, 540 mcg/kg once daily by subcutaneous injection during the period of major organogenesis from gestation day (GD) 6 – 17. There were no effects on maternal animals or on embryofetal development at the highest dose administered (14-times the exposure at the MRHD). In an embryofetal developmental toxicity study in rabbits, vosoritide was administered at 45, 135, 240 mcg/kg once daily by subcutaneous injection during the period of major organogenesis (GD 7 – 19). No effects were observed in maternal animals or on embryofetal development at the highest dose administered (200-times the exposure at the MRHD). In a pre- and postnatal toxicity study in rats, vosoritide was administered at 90, 270, and 540 mcg/kg once daily by subcutaneous injection during the period of major organogenesis and continuing to weaning (GD 6 through postpartum day 20). There were no effects on maternal animals, including maintenance of pregnancy, parturition, or care of offspring, and no effects were noted on offspring growth and development or ability to reproduce at the highest dose (14-times the exposure at the MRHD). Risk Summary There is no information regarding the presence of vosoritide in human milk, the effects on the breastfed infant, or the effects on milk production. Vosoritide is present in rat milk. When a drug is present in animal milk, it is likely that the drug will be present in human milk. The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother's clinical need for VOXZOGO and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed child from VOXZOGO or from the underlying maternal condition. The safety and effectiveness of VOXZOGO have been established in pediatric patients for the improvement in linear growth in patients with achondroplasia with open epiphyses. Use of VOXZOGO for this indication is supported by evidence from an adequate and well-controlled study in 121 pediatric patients aged 5 to 15 years with achondroplasia, pharmacokinetic data in pediatric patients aged 4.5 months to 15 years, and additional safety data in pediatric patients aged 4.4 months to <5 years [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) , Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) , and Clinical Studies (14) ] . The effect of renal impairment on the pharmacokinetics of VOXZOGO has not been evaluated. No dosage adjustment is needed for patients with eGFR ≥ 60 mL/min/1.73 m 2 . VOXZOGO is not recommended for patients with eGFR < 60 mL/min/1.73 m 2 .

Clinical pharmacology
In patients with achondroplasia, endochondral bone growth is negatively regulated due to a gain of function mutation in fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 ( FGFR3 ). Binding of vosoritide to natriuretic peptide receptor-B (NPR-B) antagonizes FGFR3 downstream signaling by inhibiting the extracellular signal-regulated kinases 1 and 2 (ERK1/2) in the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway at the level of rapidly accelerating fibrosarcoma serine/threonine protein kinase (RAF-1). As a result, vosoritide, like CNP, acts as a positive regulator of endochondral bone growth as it promotes chondrocyte proliferation and differentiation. In animal models with open growth plates, vosoritide administration resulted in the promotion of chondrocyte proliferation and differentiation that led to a widening of the growth plate and subsequent increase in skeletal growth. In the mouse models of FGFR3-related chondrodysplasia, a partial or complete normalization of the dwarfism phenotype was observed. NPR-B Binding Activity Biomarker and Bone Metabolism Biomarker An increase in urinary cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) concentrations from pre-dose baseline were observed within the first four hours post-dose, with a maximum level at 2 hours post-dose, after VOXZOGO administration to pediatric patients with achondroplasia. Daily administration of VOXZOGO also led to the increase from baseline in serum collagen type X marker (CXM), an endochondral ossification biomarker and remains elevated beyond 24 months. In subjects aged 5 - 14 years old at screening, exposure-response analyses showed that vosoritide activity measured by urinary cGMP was near saturation at the dose of 15 mcg/kg once daily, while maximal increase in growth plate activity indicated by CXM was achieved at this dose. Cardiac Electrophysiology At the maximum approved recommended dose, VOXZOGO does not prolong the QT interval to any clinically relevant extent. The area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) and peak concentration (C max ) of vosoritide increased greater than proportionally following subcutaneous administration to pediatric subjects with achondroplasia in the dose range of 7.5 to 30.0 mcg/kg. The pharmacokinetics of vosoritide were evaluated in 58 subjects aged 5 to 13 years with achondroplasia who received subcutaneous injections of vosoritide 15 mcg/kg once daily for 52 weeks. The mean (± SD) C max and area under the concentration-time curve from time zero to the last measurable concentration (AUC 0-t ) observed across 52 weeks of treatment ranged from 4.71 (± 2.32) to 7.18 (± 9.65) ng/mL, and 161 (± 98.1) to 290 (± 235) ng-min/mL, respectively. No drug accumulation was observed following 15 mcg/kg once daily dosing. The exposure of vosoritide increased with the duration of treatment. The mean AUC 0-t at week 52 increased approximately 20% compared to that at day 1. Absorption Absolute bioavailability for vosoritide following subcutaneous injection was not determined. Vosoritide was absorbed with a median T max of 15 minutes after dosing. Distribution The mean (± SD) apparent volume of distribution of vosoritide across 52 weeks of subcutaneous administration of VOXZOGO 15 mcg/kg once daily ranged from 2880 (± 2450) to 3020 (± 1980) mL/kg. Elimination The mean (± SD) apparent clearance of vosoritide across 52 weeks of subcutaneous administration of VOXZOGO 15 mcg/kg once daily ranged from 79.4 (± 53.0) to 104 (± 98.8) mL/min/kg. The mean (± SD) half-life ranged from 21.0 (± 4.7) to 27.9 (± 9.9) minutes. Metabolism The metabolism of vosoritide is expected to occur via catabolic pathways with degradation into small peptide fragments and amino acids. Specific Populations No clinically significant differences in the vosoritide pharmacokinetics were observed based on age (0.4 to 15 years), sex or race. The effect of hepatic or renal impairment on the pharmacokinetics of vosoritide is unknown. Body weight Population pharmacokinetic analyses indicated that body weight is a significant covariate for vosoritide clearance and volume of distribution. The apparent clearance and volume of distribution of vosoritide increased with increasing body weight in patients with achondroplasia (5 to 74.5 kg). Drug Interaction Studies In vitro assessment of drug-drug interactions In vitro studies showed that vosoritide, at therapeutic concentrations, does not inhibit or induce Cytochrome P450 enzymes. Based on in vitro studies, vosoritide is considered unlikely to inhibit the human drug uptake or efflux transporters such as OAT1, OAT3, OCT1, OCT2, OATP1B1, OATP1B3, MATE1, MATE2-K, BCRP, P-gp, and BSEP at clinically relevant concentrations and therefore, no effect of vosoritide is anticipated on concomitantly administered drugs that are substrates of these transporters. In vivo assessment of drug-drug interactions No clinical studies evaluating the drug-drug interaction potential of vosoritide have been conducted. The observed incidence of anti-drug antibodies is highly dependent on the sensitivity and specificity of the assay. Differences in assay methods preclude meaningful comparisons of the incidence of anti-drug antibodies in the studies described below with the incidence of anti-drug antibodies in other studies, including those of vosoritide. Of 131 subjects aged 5 years and older who were treated with VOXZOGO 15 mcg/kg/day and evaluable for the presence of anti-drug antibodies (ADA) for up to 240 weeks, ADA were detected in 35% (46/131). The earliest time to ADA development was day 85. All ADA-positive subjects tested negative for anti-vosoritide neutralizing antibodies. There was no correlation between the number, duration, or severity of hypersensitivity adverse reactions or injection site reactions and ADA positivity or mean ADA titer. There was no association between ADA positivity or mean ADA titer and change from baseline in annual growth velocity (AGV) or height Z-score at month 12. There was no impact of serum ADA detected on the plasma PK measurements of vosoritide. In subjects under 5 years of age, 33% (20/61) of vosoritide-treated subjects tested positive for ADA and all placebo-treated subjects tested negative for ADA for up to 44 months. The earliest time to ADA development was week 26. All of the ADA-positive subjects tested negative for neutralizing antibodies at all time points. There was no impact of ADA development on safety, efficacy or PK of vosoritide up to Month 12.
Nonclinical toxicology
Long term carcinogenicity studies and genotoxicity studies with vosoritide have not been performed. In a fertility and reproductive study in male and female rats at doses up to 540 mcg/kg/day (15-times the exposure at the MRHD), vosoritide had no effect on mating performance, fertility, or litter characteristics.
Clinical studies
The safety and effectiveness of VOXZOGO in patients with achondroplasia were assessed in one 52-week, multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase 3 study - Study 1 (NCT03197766). Study 1 was conducted in 121 subjects with genetically-confirmed achondroplasia, who were randomized to either VOXZOGO (N=60) or placebo (N=61). The dosage of VOXZOGO was 15 mcg/kg administered subcutaneously once daily. Baseline standing height, weight Z-score, body mass index (BMI) Z-score, and upper to lower body ratio were collected for at least 6 months prior to randomization. Subjects with limb-lengthening surgery in the prior 18 months or who planned to have limb-lengthening surgery during the study period were excluded. The study included a 52-week placebo-controlled treatment phase followed by an open-label treatment extension study period in which all subjects received VOXZOGO. The primary efficacy endpoint was the change from baseline in annualized growth velocity (AGV) at Week 52 compared with placebo. The subjects' ages ranged from 5.1 to 14.9 years with a mean of 8.7 years. Sixty four (53%) subjects were male and 57 (47%) were female. Overall, 86 (71%) subjects were White, 23 (19%) were Asian, 5 (4%) were Black or African American, and 7 (6%) were classified as "multiple" race. The subjects had a mean baseline height standard deviation score (SDS) of -5.13. Treatment with VOXZOGO for 52 weeks resulted in a treatment difference in the change from baseline in AGV of 1.57 cm/year after 52 weeks of treatment (Table 5). Table 5: Annualized Growth Velocity (cm/year) at Week 52 in Subjects 5 Years of Age and Older with Achondroplasia - Study 1 Placebo (N=61 All randomized subjects.

The improvement in AGV in favor of VOXZOGO was consistent across all predefined subgroups analyzed including sex, age group, Tanner stage, baseline height Z-score, and baseline AGV. Height Standard Deviation Score (SDS) The LS mean change from baseline to Week 52 in height SDS was -0.02 in the placebo group and 0.26 in the VOXZOGO group. The difference in LS mean change from baseline was 0.28 (95% CI 0.17, 0.39; p<0.0001) in favor of VOXZOGO. The LS mean change from baseline to Week 52 in upper to lower body segment ratio was -0.02 in the placebo group and -0.03 in the VOXZOGO group. The difference in LS mean change from baseline was -0.01 (95% CI -0.05, 0.02; p=0.5). Open-label extension After the 52 week double blind, placebo-controlled, phase 3 study, Study 1, 58 subjects initially randomized to VOXZOGO enrolled into an open-label extension. Among the subjects who had 2 years of follow-up since randomization, the improvement in AGV was maintained.

Revised: 10/2023 What is VOXZOGO? VOXZOGO is a prescription medicine used to increase linear growth in children with achondroplasia with open bone growth plates (epiphyses). Before you give your child VOXZOGO, tell your child's healthcare provider about all your child's medical conditions, including if they: have kidney problems. are pregnant or plan to become pregnant. It is not known if VOXZOGO will harm your child's unborn baby. are breastfeeding or plan to breastfeed. It is not known if VOXZOGO passes into your child's breast milk. Talk to your child's healthcare provider about the best way to feed your child's baby if your child takes VOXZOGO. Tell your child's healthcare provider about all the medicines your child takes, including prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements. Know the medicines your child takes. Keep a list of them to show your child's healthcare provider and pharmacist when your child gets a new medicine. How should I give VOXZOGO? See the detailed Instructions for Use that comes with this Patient Information leaflet for instructions about the right way to store, prepare, and give VOXZOGO injections at home. VOXZOGO is given as an injection under the skin (subcutaneous or SC). Inject VOXZOGO 1 time every day, at about the same time each day. If your child's healthcare provider decides a caregiver can give the injections of VOXZOGO at home, your child's caregiver should receive training on the right way to prepare and inject VOXZOGO. Do not try to inject VOXZOGO until you have been shown the right way by your child's healthcare provider or nurse. Your child's healthcare provider will tell you how often you should give VOXZOGO. If your child misses a dose of VOXZOGO, it can be given within 12 hours of the scheduled time of injection. If more than 12 hours have passed, do not give the missed dose. Give the next daily dose according to your child's usual schedule. Your child should eat a meal and drink about 8 to 10 ounces of fluid within 1 hour before injection. In case you are not sure when to inject VOXZOGO, call your child's healthcare provider or pharmacist. Do not give VOXZOGO more often than as directed by your child's healthcare provider. Your child's dose of VOXZOGO depends on his or her body weight. Your child's healthcare provider will tell you which strength of VOXZOGO to use and how much to give your child. Your child's healthcare provider will monitor your child's growth and instruct you on when your child should stop VOXZOGO if they determine that your child is no longer able to grow. Stop giving VOXZOGO to your child if instructed by your child's healthcare provider. What are the possible side effects of VOXZOGO? VOXZOGO may cause serious side effects, including: risk of low blood pressure. VOXZOGO may temporarily lower blood pressure in some people. To help reduce the risk of low blood pressure and its symptoms (dizziness, feeling tired, or nausea), your child should eat a meal and drink about 8 to 10 ounces of fluid within 1 hour before receiving VOXZOGO. The most common side effects of VOXZOGO include: injection site reactions (redness, itching, swelling, bruising, rash, hives, pain) high levels of blood alkaline phosphatase (shown in blood tests) vomiting joint pain decreased blood pressure stomach ache These are not all the possible side effects of VOXZOGO.
