Unexpected Promotion of Bone Regeneration by Inhibition of BMPR1A‐Mediated BMP Signalling
BMPR1A downregulation reduces ID1, releases TCF3 to activate GNG4‐PI3K‐AKT signalling, thereby promoting OPC proliferation and bone regeneration. ABSTRACT Bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signalling plays a pivotal role in bone regeneration by regulating osteoprogenitor cell (OPC) function, and BMPs have been widely used in clinical treatment. However,

Effects of Renal and Hepatic Impairment on the Pharmacokinetics of Zilurgisertib
Aim Small‐molecule activin receptor‐like kinase‐2 inhibitor zilurgisertib (INCB000928) is under investigation in a pivotal trial for the treatment of fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP), an ultrarare genetic condition. This analysis assessed effects of renal and hepatic impairment on zilurgisertib pharmacokinetics.

In the field of rare diseases—where traditional clinical trials are often impractical—real‐world data (RWD) have emerged as a scientifically valid alternative to support regulatory decision making. This study systematically evaluates the utilization of RWD in orphan drug approvals by the FDA Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER) over the past ...

Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva - An Uncommon Cause of Trismus
Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP) is a progressively disabling genetic disorder. It is characterised by development of a secondary skeleton due to progressive hypertrophic ossification.

ABSTRACT Clinical trials for rare diseases face a fundamental mathematical challenge that conventional randomized controlled trial (RCT) designs cannot overcome. With approximately 95% of the estimated 10,000–16,000 rare diseases lacking approved therapies, and drug development programs failing at rates exceeding 75% in non‐oncology indications, the ...
