Ascendis Pharma to Present First reACHin Sentinel-Cohort Data for Navepegritide (TransCon CNP) in Achondroplasia Infants at ESPE 2026 Tuesday September 8
Ascendis Pharma A/S (NASDAQ: ASND) announced Monday September 7, 2026 that the first sentinel-cohort data from the Phase 3 reACHin trial of navepegritide (TransCon CNP, a sustained-release CNP peptide prodrug) in infants with achondroplasia aged 0 to under 2 years will be presented as a podium talk at the European Society for Paediatric Endocrinology (ESPE) 2026 congress in Marseille, France (September 8-10). The reACHin presentation (FC4.6) is scheduled for Tuesday September 8, 3:00-4:00 p.m. CEST by Genevieve Baujat MD. Additional presentations include the HighLiGHts Phase 3 trial design for lonapegsomatropin (TransCon hGH) across Turner syndrome, SHOX deficiency, small-for-gestational-age, and idiopathic short stature; hypoparathyroidism patient-reported-outcome data from adolescents; and a systematic literature review on pediatric growth hormone deficiency prevalence. Ascendis submitted the TransCon CNP marketing authorization application to the EMA in October 2025 with an EU decision expected Q4 2026. Navepegritide is engineered to provide continuous CNP receptor stimulation without the peak-and-trough kinetics that constrained earlier vosoritide (Voxzogo) dosing.
