BridgeBio Reports Positive Phase 3 Results for Infigratinib in Achondroplasia

BridgeBio Pharma reported positive Phase 3 topline results for infigratinib in children with achondroplasia. The PROPEL 3 trial met primary and key secondary endpoints, including improvements in height velocity and body proportionality.

Infigratinib is the first therapy in a randomized trial to show statistical significance in improving body proportionality in this patient group. BridgeBio plans to pursue regulatory submissions in the U.S. and Europe in the second half of 2026 and to accelerate development in related indications.

The Phase 3 PROPEL 3 data show clinically meaningful gains in height velocity and body proportionality with an oral therapy. A favorable safety profile with no serious drug-related events and low discontinuation risk was observed in the trial. Achondroplasia has long had limited treatment options, so a positive Phase 3 readout in a pediatric setting can influence how investors view the company's late-stage pipeline and potential future product mix.

Infigratinib has received designations such as Breakthrough Therapy, Orphan Drug and Rare Pediatric Disease, which can, if maintained through review, support timelines, market exclusivity and possibly a priority review voucher.

BridgeBio Pharma focuses on developing treatments for genetic diseases, and infigratinib now sits at the center of that strategy. The company is also conducting studies in hypochondroplasia and infant and toddler achondroplasia, which could broaden the addressable population over time if positive data emerge.

For investors, the next key markers are regulators' feedback and how the company executes on its plans for U.S. and European submissions. The decision to move faster on related indications also puts more attention on execution risk, funding priorities, and how management sequences clinical and regulatory milestones over the coming years.

BridgeBio remains highly reliant on a small number of products and late-stage assets, so setbacks in infigratinib or other key programs could weigh heavily on future revenue and cash flow expectations. The company continues to carry negative shareholders' equity, which means investors may want to pay attention to how future trial costs, commercialization spend and any capital raises affect the balance sheet.
