- Achondroplasia is a genetic condition that leads to significant short stature and various medical challenges, and infigratinib is a new treatment being tested for children affected by this disorder.
- A phase 2 study involved 72 children aged 3 to 11, testing varying doses of infigratinib over 6 months, with adjustments possible during a further 12-month period, focusing on the safety and height growth of the participants.
- Results indicated that all participants experienced mild to moderate side effects, but none stopped treatment; most significantly, children in the highest dose group showed a notable increase in height growth compared to baseline, suggesting the treatment could be effective.

Our objective was to describe the pathological results of LEEP specimens performed as part of the MULHER study and identify factors associated with positive LEEP margins.
Methods: The MULHER study enrolled 9014 women who underwent HPV testing followed by visual assessment for treatment (VAT) using visual inspection with acetic acid (VIA) and thermal ablation for those with positive results.
