Maxwell Skor's questions to Ascendis Pharma A/S (ASND) leadership • Q2 2025
Question
Maxwell Skor of Morgan Stanley asked if a single pivotal trial for the TransCon CNP and growth hormone combination could be sufficient for approval, given the impressive growth velocity seen in the COACH trial.
Answer
President & CEO Jan Møller Mikkelsen did not directly confirm if one trial would suffice but highlighted the unprecedented growth velocity observed. He discussed a potential treatment paradigm where patients could receive the combination therapy for 1-2 year 'boosts' and then maintain on CNP monotherapy, suggesting a focus on defining the optimal clinical use rather than just the regulatory path.
