5. Females = 10 years old or who have begun menses must have a negative pregnancy test at the Screening Visit and be willing to have additional pregnancy tests during the study
6. If sexually active, willing to use a highly effective method of contraception while participating in the study
7. Are ambulatory and able to stand without assistance
8. Are willing and able to perform all study procedures as physically possible
9. Caregivers are willing to administer daily injections to the subjects and complete the required training
Are the trial subjects under 18? yes
Number of subjects for this age range: 110
F.1.2 Adults (18-64 years) yes
F.1.2.1 Number of subjects for this age range 2
F.1.3 Elderly (>=65 years) no
F.1.3.1 Number of subjects for this age range

Exclusion Criteria

1. Have hypochondroplasia or short stature condition other than ACH (e.g., trisomy 21, pseudoachondroplasia)
2. Have any of the following: Hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism; Insulin-requiring diabetes mellitus; Autoimmune
inflammatory disease (including celiac disease, lupus (SLE), juvenile dermatomyositis, scleroderma, and others); Inflammatory bowel disease; Autonomic neuropathy
3. Have a history of any of the following: Renal insufficiency defined as serum creatinine > 2 mg/dl; Chronic anemia; Baseline systolic blood pressure (BP) < 70 millimeters of mercury (mm Hg) or recurrent symptomatic hypotension (defined as episodes of low BP generally accompanied by symptoms i.e., dizziness, fainting) or recurrent symptomatic orthostatic hypotension; Cardiac or vascular disease (including Cardiac dysfunction (abnormal echocardiogram) at Screening Visit; Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy; Pulmonary hypertension; Congenital heart disease; Cerebrovascular disease; Aortic insufficiency or other clin significant valvular dysfunction; Clinically significant atrial or ventricular arrhythmias)
4. Have a clinically significant finding or arrhythmia on screening electrocardiogram (ECG) that indicates abnormal cardiac function or conduction or QTc-F > 450 msec
5. Have an unstable condition likely to require surgical intervention during the study (including progressive cervical medullary compression or severe untreated sleep apnea)
6. Evidence of decreased growth velocity (AGV<1.5 cm/y) as assessed over a period of at least 6 mths or of growth plate closure (proximal tibia, distal femur) through bilateral lower extremity X-rays including both AP and lateral views
7. Documented Vitamin D deficiency (concentration of blood 25-hydroxy-vitamin D <12 ng/mL or <30 nmol/L)
8. Require any investigational agent prior to completion of study period9. Have received another investigational product or investigational medical device within 6 mths before the Screening Visit
10. Have used any investigational product or investigational medical device for the treatment of ACH or short stature at any time, including BMN 111
11. Current therapy with antihypertensive medications, angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, angiotensin II receptor blockers, diuretics, beta-blockers, calcium-channel blockers, cardiac glycosides, systemic anticholinergic agents, GnRH agonists, any medication that may impair or enhance compensatory tachycardia, diuretics, or other drugs known to alter renal or tubular function
12. Have been treated with growth hormone, insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1), or anabolic steroids in the previous 6 months or treatment greater than 6 months at any time
13. Have had > 1 month treatment with oral corticosteroids (low-dose ongoing inhaled steroid for asthma, or intranasal steroids, are acceptable) in the previous 12 months
14. Planned or expected to have limb-lengthening surgery during the study period. Subjects with previous limb-lengthening surgery may enroll if surgery occurred at least 18 months prior to screening and healing is complete without sequelae.
15. Planned or expected bone-related surgery (ie. surgery involving disruption of bone cortex, excluding tooth extraction), during the study period.
