Trial Review

Did you know?

The ANZCTR now automatically displays published trial results and simplifies the addition of trial documents such as unpublished protocols and statistical analysis plans.

These enhancements will offer a more comprehensive view of trials, regardless of whether their results are positive, negative, or inconclusive.

The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been endorsed by the ANZCTR. Before participating in a study, talk to your health care provider and refer to this information for consumers

* Females of child-bearing potential must have a negative blood or urine pregnancy test (with sensitivity of at least 50 mIU/mL) prior to administration of palovarotene.
* Male and FOCBP participants must agree to remain abstinent from heterosexual sex during treatment and for 1 month after treatment or, if sexually active, to use two effective methods of birth control during and for 1 month after treatment. Additionally, sexually active females of childbearing potential (FOCBP) participants must already be using two effective methods of birth control 1 month before treatment is to start. Specific risk of the use of retinoids during pregnancy, and the agreement to remain abstinent or use two effective methods of birth control will be clearly defined in the informed consent and the participant or legally authorized representatives.

Summary
Brief summary
Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva (FOP) is a rare, severely disabling disease characterized by heterotopic ossification (HO), i.e., abnormal bone formation, often associated with painful, recurrent episodes of soft tissue swelling (flare-ups). Lesions begin in early childhood and lead to progressive ankyloses of major joints with resultant loss of movement.

In this study, the ability of different palovarotene dosing regimens to prevent the formation of new HO will be evaluated in adult and pediatric participants with FOP.
