The US FDA approved Regeneron's drug garetosmab (Pasatru) for fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva, a rare bone disorder, after it significantly reduced abnormal bone formation in clinical trials.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Biotech, and 6 sources have reported it between 19 Aug 2026 and 20 Aug 2026.

◆ The Wire takeaway

Regeneron’s FDA approval opens a rare disease treatment market that quickly needs clinical follow-ups and paediatric trials. You should evaluate patient access and positioning ahead of competitor therapies like Ipsen's Sohonos.
