Intermittent and Short-Term Empirical Ruxolitinib Regimen for Steroid-Refractory Flareups of Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva. [PDF]

Pharmacol Res Perspect
ABSTRACT Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP) is an ultra‐rare genetic disorder with inflammation‐related flare‐ups resulting in catastrophic heterotopic ossification (HO). Janus‐associated kinase (JAK) inhibitors may have had a blocking effect on bone formation in controlling FOP flare‐ups by blocking multiple inflammatory signaling pathways ...
