New pill tested to halt debilitating 'Second Skeleton' disease

NCT ID NCT05039515

Summary

This study is testing whether an oral medication called fidrisertib can slow the formation of new, abnormal bone in people with Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva (FOP), a rare and severely disabling genetic disease. Researchers will compare two different doses of the drug against a placebo in about 113 participants, including adults and children as young as 5 years old. The main goal is to see if the drug reduces the volume of new bone growth measured by whole-body scans over a year.
