24h Move is the share-price change in the day after each event; other market factors may also have contributed.
Recent major clinical and transaction headlines for BioMarin have generally seen price moves that align with the news tone, while the latest earnings release showed a negative reaction despite mixed fundamentals.
Over the past few months, BioMarin has reported several significant updates. On Apr 27, it completed the $4.8 billion Amicus acquisition at $14.50 per share, followed by Q1 2026 results on May 4 with $766 million revenue and raised full‑year guidance, yet shares fell. Subsequent clinical news has been key: mixed Phase 3 results for BMN 401 on May 18 and clearly positive Phase 3 VOXZOGO data in hypochondroplasia on May 20, which drove a strong gain. Today’s longer‑term VOXZOGO and early BMN 333 data extend this clinical narrative.

Data from an investigator-led study showed treatment with VOXZOGO resulted in sustained improvements in growth over three years in children with hypochondroplasia
New Phase 1 results also presented for investigational BMN 333 support potential weekly dosing in children with achondroplasia
New data from a Phase 2, investigator-sponsored three-year extension study of VOXZOGO in 13 children with hypochondroplasia, led by Andrew Dauber, M.D. and investigators at Children's National Hospital, demonstrated sustained improvements in annualized growth velocity (AGV) and height standard deviation score (SDS), with a favorable safety profile. Mean height SDS improved by 0.72 SD over three years of treatment, while mean AGV increased from 4.27 cm/year at baseline to 7.24 cm/year at year one (p<0.001) and remained above baseline through years two and three.
BioMarin recently announced positive topline results from CANOPY-HCH-3, its registration-enabling Phase 3 pivotal study evaluating VOXZOGO in children with hypochondroplasia. These results will be included in the supplemental New Drug Application submission to the
"Building on the excellent Phase 3 results we recently announced, these new longer-term data further reinforce the potential of VOXZOGO to meaningfully improve growth outcomes for children with hypochondroplasia," said Greg Friberg, M.D., Executive Vice President and Chief Research & Development Officer at BioMarin. "Importantly, we continue to observe sustained growth improvements over time and a favorable safety profile, adding to the growing body of evidence supporting VOXZOGO for this potential new indication."
New BMN 333 Phase 1 Data Support Advancement Into Late-Stage Development
Additional data being presented at ENDO 2026 highlight the potential of investigational BMN 333, BioMarin's long-acting C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) for achondroplasia. In a Phase 1 single-ascending dose study in healthy adults, BMN 333 demonstrated sustained systemic exposure associated with prolonged pharmacodynamic target engagement, supporting a weekly dosing schedule. The maximum examined dose of BMN 333 (500 μg/kg) increased exposure to free CNP by more than 13 times compared to another long-acting CNP agent, reflecting the potential of BMN 333 to become the new standard of care in achondroplasia. BMN 333 was well tolerated across all dose levels evaluated, with no dose-limiting toxicities or treatment-related serious adverse events.
In April, BioMarin began enrolling patients in the registration-enabling Phase 2/3 study of BMN 333. A data update from the dose-finding segment of this study is expected in 2027.

About Achondroplasia
Achondroplasia, the most common form of skeletal dysplasia leading to disproportionate short stature in humans, is characterized by slowing of endochondral ossification, which results in disproportionate short stature and disordered architecture in the long bones, spine, face and base of the skull. This condition is caused by a change in the FGFR3 gene, a negative regulator of bone growth.

About Hypochondroplasia
Hypochondroplasia is a rare, genetic skeletal dysplasia characterized by impaired bone growth, leading to disproportionate short stature and skeletal differences that can affect the long bones, spine and other parts of the skeleton and may impact physical functioning and overall quality of life. The condition presents with a broad and variable clinical spectrum and may include otolaryngologic (related to the ears, nose and throat) and neurological complications and is often diagnosed in toddlerhood or early school age based on clinical and radiological findings. BioMarin estimates that roughly 14,000 children with hypochondroplasia within the company's global footprint may be eligible for treatment with VOXZOGO.
There are currently no medicines approved by the

About VOXZOGO
In children with achondroplasia, endochondral bone growth, an essential process by which bone tissue is created, is negatively regulated due to a gain of function mutation in FGFR3. VOXZOGO, a C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) analog, acts as a positive regulator of the signaling pathway downstream of FGFR3 to promote endochondral bone growth.
VOXZOGO is the only approved medicine to support the growth of children with achondroplasia starting from birth, with international consensus guidelines recommending initiation of VOXZOGO as early as possible. First approved in 2021, VOXZOGO has helped more than 5,000 infants and children in more than 50 countries. Through our ongoing studies, BioMarin continues to evaluate VOXZOGO on key clinical endpoints relevant for achondroplasia patients, such as arm span, tibial bowing (leg bowing), body proportionality, spinal morphology (including spinal stenosis) and quality of life measures.
VOXZOGO is approved in the
The use of VOXZOGO to treat hypochondroplasia has not yet been approved by any regulatory agency.

VOXZOGO
What is VOXZOGO used for?
- VOXZOGO is a prescription medicine used to increase linear growth in children with achondroplasia and open growth plates (epiphyses).
- VOXZOGO is approved under accelerated approval based on an improvement in annualized growth velocity. Continued approval may be contingent upon verification and description of clinical benefit in confirmatory trials.
What is the most important safety information about VOXZOGO?
- VOXZOGO may cause serious side effects including a temporary decrease in blood pressure in some patients. To reduce the risk of a decrease in blood pressure and associated symptoms (dizziness, feeling tired, or nausea), patients should eat a meal and drink 8 to 10 ounces of fluid within 1 hour before receiving VOXZOGO.
What are the most common side effects of VOXZOGO?
- The most common side effects of VOXZOGO include injection site reactions (including redness, itching, swelling, bruising, rash, hives, and injection site pain), high levels of blood alkaline phosphatase shown in blood tests, vomiting, joint pain, decreased blood pressure, and stomachache. These are not all the possible side effects of VOXZOGO. Ask your healthcare provider for medical advice about side effects, and about any side effects that bother the patient or that do not go away.
How is VOXZOGO taken?
- VOXZOGO is taken daily as an injection given under the skin, administered by a caregiver after a healthcare provider determines the caregiver is able to administer VOXZOGO. Do not try to inject VOXZOGO until you have been shown the right way by your healthcare provider. VOXZOGO is supplied with Instructions for Use that describe the steps for preparing, injecting, and disposing VOXZOGO. Caregivers should review the Instructions for Use for guidance and any time they receive a refill of VOXZOGO in case any changes have been made.
- Inject VOXZOGO 1 time every day, at about the same time each day. If a dose of VOXZOGO is missed, it can be given within 12 hours from the missed dose. After 12 hours, skip the missed dose and administer the next daily dose as usual.
- The dose of VOXZOGO is based on body weight. Your healthcare provider will adjust the dose based on changes in weight following regular check-ups.
- Your healthcare provider will monitor the patient's growth and tell you when to stop taking VOXZOGO if they determine the patient is no longer able to grow. Stop administering VOXZOGO if instructed by your healthcare provider.
What should you tell the doctor before or during taking VOXZOGO?
- Tell your doctor about all of the patient's medical conditions including
- If the patient has heart disease (cardiac or vascular disease), or if the patient is on blood pressure medicine (anti-hypertensive medicine).
- If the patient has kidney problems or renal impairment.
- If the patient is pregnant or plans to become pregnant. It is not known if VOXZOGO will harm the unborn baby.
- If the patient is breastfeeding or plans to breastfeed. It is not known if VOXZOGO passes into breast milk.
- Tell your doctor about all of the medicines the patient takes, including prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements.
