Abstract Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva is a rare, progressive autosomal dominant genetic disease caused by an activin receptor‐like kinase 2 (ALK2) mutation with a need for effective prophylactic therapies. This single‐center, randomized, double‐blind, placebo‐controlled study evaluated the pharmacokinetics and safety of DS‐6016a, a novel ...

Effects of FKBP12 and type II BMP receptors on signal transduction by ALK2 activating mutations associated with genetic disorders [PDF]
Various substitution mutations in ALK2, a transmembrane serine/threonine kinase receptor for bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs), have been identified in patients with genetic disorders such as fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP), diffuse ...

Surrogate Endpoints in Regulatory Decision‐Making
ABSTRACT To support approval, FDA requires substantial evidence of effectiveness that demonstrates a drug improves meaningful clinical outcomes as measured by how a patient feels, functions, or survives. Effectiveness is measured directly (e.g., by patient‐reported outcome or other clinical outcome assessment) or indirectly (i.e., by use of a surrogate

International physician survey on management of FOP: a modified Delphi study
Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP), a disabling disorder of progressive heterotopic ossification (HEO), is caused by heterozygous gain-of- function mutations in Activin receptor A, type I (ACVR1, also known as ALK2), a bone morphogenetic protein

Heterotopic Ossification: Cellular Basis, Symptoms, and Treatment [PDF]
Heterotopic ossification (HO) is the process by which calcified bone develops in soft tissues. Because of the abnormal calcification, complications such as bone deformation, loss of range of motion, and joint immobility adversely affect patients.

ABSTRACT Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by progressive heterotopic ossification (HO) and congenital malformation of the great toes. This case describes a 5‐year‐old Caucasian girl who initially presented with painless neck and back swelling as well as severe limitation of movement in the neck and ...
