A Study to Investigate the Safety, Pharmacokinetics (PK), and Efficacy of Garetosmab in Children and Adolescents With Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva (FOP) (OPTIMA-2)

April 22, 2026 updated by: Regeneron Pharmaceuticals

Phase 3 Evaluation of the Safety, Pharmacokinetics, and Efficacy of Garetosmab (Anti-Activin A Monoclonal Antibody) in Children and Adolescents With Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva

This study is researching an experimental drug called garetosmab, referred to as "study drug". The study is focused on children and adolescent participants with FOP.

The aim of the study is to see how safe, tolerable, and effective the study drug is.

The study is looking at several other research questions, including:

  • What side effects may happen from taking the study drug
  • How much study drug is in the blood at different times
  • Whether the body makes antibodies against the study drug (which could make the study drug less effective or could lead to side effects)

Change from baseline in Tanner puberty scale
Time Frame: At week 28 and week 56
Tanner puberty scale or stages: Staging of sexual development is graded on a 5-point ordinal scale ranging from 1 (prepubertal) to 5 (adultlike) for female breast development, male external genitals, and pubic hair
At week 28 and week 56
Characteristics of menstrual cycles for female participants who reached menarche
Time Frame: Over 28 weeks and 56 weeks
Over 28 weeks and 56 weeks
Height-for-age Z-Scores according to the World Health Organization (WHO) Growth Reference Data for Children
Time Frame: Through week 56
Participants 5-19 years of age Z-score represents standardized measure of how far an individual deviated from study cohort average at baseline. A higher Z-score reflects better performance.
Through week 56

Time Frame: Up to week 30
Each interview will be conducted by trained external interviewers following a semi-structured interview guide of questions for the participants about their overall experience in the trial.
Up to week 30
