Exploring the family experience of children aged 2 –4 years receiving daily vosoritide injections: A qualitative study
Vosoritide is administered as a daily subcutaneous injection in children with achondroplasia. In clinical trials, families of children aged 2 –4 years reported difficulty with drug administration due to child fear, pain, and distress. Study aims were to gain a better understanding of the current vosoritide administration experience in this cohort and to investigate whether topical anaesthesia and ice application prior to injections imp roved the child and family experience.
