First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This global registry collects information from people with Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva (FOP), a rare condition where soft tissues turn into bone. Up to 800 patients worldwide can report their symptoms, flare-ups, and mobility changes through a secure online portal. The goal is to better understand how FOP progresses and to prepare the community for future clinical trials.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to

If successful, this registry could provide crucial insights into FOP's natural history and help design better treatments and clinical trials.

What could go wrong

This is an observational registry, not a treatment study. It collects data but does not test any intervention, so it cannot directly improve health.
