Regeneron has received FDA approval for Pasatru (garetosmab), becoming the second drug approved to treat fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP) in the U.S., setting up competition with Ipsen's Sohonos which was approved in 2023.

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

You face a new competitor with FDA-approved treatment for FOP creating pressure to differentiate or pivot. Look for opportunities to engage clinicians who value treatment flexibility and patient mobility support.
