The US FDA approved Regeneron's Pasatru as the second therapy for fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP), reducing new bone lesion formation and flare-ups in adults. This approval follows positive Phase III trial results and distinguishes Pasatru from the first approved treatment Sohonos by targeting Activin A.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
You now face a clearer choice in FOP treatments with Pasatru's novel mechanism blocking Activin A, different from existing drugs. Targeting ultra-rare diseases like FOP just gained regulatory validation, opening pathways to develop medicines for similarly complex conditions.
