Recifercept is the name  Pfizer has selected for the orphan drug for achondroplasia. Pfizer acquired Therachon in May 2019 (Pfizer press release here) and with that, TA-46, the molecule being developed as a potential treatment for achondroplasia. The acquisition process was concluded in September 2019, and now the company is has listed the new name at their Pipeline page. Both "Therachon" and "TA-46" are no longer in use.
