Summary

This study looks at whether anti-IL1 medications (like anakinra or canakinumab) can reduce flare-ups and prevent extra bone growth in people with fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP), a rare genetic disorder where soft tissues turn into bone. About 11 participants with severe FOP will be tracked before and during treatment. The goal is to gather data to design a larger future study.
