Study Description

Brief Summary:

Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva (FOP) is a rare, severely disabling disease characterized by heterotopic ossification (HO) often associated with painful, recurrent episodes of soft tissue swelling (flare-ups) that lead to ankyloses of major joints with cumulative and irreversible loss of movement and disability.

Condition or disease	Intervention/treatment	Phase
Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva	Drug: Palovarotene	Phase 3

Detailed Description:

One primary objective is to evaluate the efficacy of palovarotene in decreasing new HO in subjects with FOP as assessed by low-dose, whole body computed tomography (WBCT), excluding head, compared to untreated subjects from Clementia's FOP natural history study (Study PVO-1A-001, NHS). The other primary objective is to evaluate the safety of palovarotene in subjects with FOP.

This is a Phase 3, multicenter, open-label study. Eligible subjects will receive a chronic/flare-up dosing regimen of palovarotene for 24 months as follows:

• Chronic treatment: orally administered 5 mg palovarotene once daily for 24 months.
• Flare-up treatment: orally administered 20 mg palovarotene once daily for 4 weeks (28 days) followed by orally administered 10 mg palovarotene once daily for 8 weeks (56 days). Flare-up treatment may be extended until the Investigator determines that the flare-up has resolved.

Note that all dosing will be weight-adjusted in skeletally immature subjects (those under the age of 18 years with less than 90% skeletal maturity on hand/ wrist x-rays performed at Screening).

Study Design

• Study Type: Interventional (Clinical Trial)
• Estimated Enrollment: 90 participants
• Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment
• Intervention Model Description: A multicenter, open-label study. Untreated subjects from the FOP NHS will serve as the control arm.
• Masking: None (Open Label)
• Masking Description: None (Open Label)
• Primary Purpose: Treatment
• Official Title: MOVE TRIAL: A Phase 3, Efficacy and Safety Study of Oral Palovarotene for the Treatment of Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva (FOP)
• Actual Study Start Date: November 28, 2017
• Estimated Primary Completion Date: September 2020
• Estimated Study Completion Date: November 2020

Arms and Interventions

Arm	Intervention/treatment
Experimental: Palovarotene Chronic/Flare-Up Regimen; Subjects will receive 5 mg palovarotene once daily for up to 24 months; and 20 mg palovarotene once daily for 28 days, followed by 10 mg for 56 days for flareups. (Dosing will be adjusted for weight in skeletally immature subjects.)	Drug: Palovarotene; Palovarotene will be taken orally once daily at approximately the same time each day following a meal.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures :

1. Change in New HO Volume [ Time Frame: Screening, every 6 months up to 2 years ]
   Annualized change in new HO volume as assessed by low-dose, WBCT (excluding head) compared to untreated subjects from the NHS.

Secondary Outcome Measures :

1. Subjects with New HO [ Time Frame: Screening, every 6 months up to 2 years ]
   The proportion of subjects with any new HO.
2. Number of Body Regions with HO [ Time Frame: Screening, every 6 months up to 2 years ]
   Change from baseline in the number of body regions with new HO.
3. Subjects with Flare-Ups [ Time Frame: Up to 2 years ]
   The proportion of subjects reporting flare-ups.
4. Rate of Flare-Ups [ Time Frame: Up to 2 years ]
   The rate of flare-ups per subject-month exposure.
5. Incidence of Adverse Events [ Time Frame: Up to 2 years ]
   Monitor adverse events.
6. Palovarotene Area Under the Curve (AUC) [ Time Frame: Predose, and 3, 6, 10, and 24 hours postdose ]
   Determination of AUC at steady-state assessed during treatment with 5, 10, and 20 mg palovarotene.

Other Outcome Measures:

1. Range of Motion [ Time Frame: Screening, every 6 months up to 2 years ]
   Change from baseline in range of motion as assessed by the Cumulative Analogue Joint Involvement Scale for FOP (CAJIS).
2. FOP-Physical Function Questionnaire [ Time Frame: Screening, every 6 months up to 2 years ]
   Change from baseline in physical function using age-appropriate forms of the FOP-Physical Function Questionnaire (PFQ).
3. PROMIS Global Health Scale [ Time Frame: Screening, every 6 months up to 2 years ]
   Change from baseline in physical/mental function using age-appropriate forms of the PROMIS Global Health Scale.

Eligibility Criteria

• Ages Eligible for Study: 4 Years and older (Child, Adult, Older Adult)
• Sexes Eligible for Study: All
• Accepts Healthy Volunteers: No

Criteria

Key Inclusion Criteria:

• Written, signed, and dated informed subject/parent consent; and for subjects who are minors, age-appropriate assent (performed according to local regulations).
• Males or females at least 4 years of age.
• Previous participation in Clementia's natural history study (NCT02322255); clinically diagnosed with FOP, with the R206H ACVR1 mutation or other FOP variants reported to be associated with progressive HO (who have not participated in any Clementia-sponsored study); participants in Clementia's Phase 2 studies (NCT02279095 and NCT02979769) who cannot currently receive the chronic/flare-up regimen due to country of residence or those traveling long distances to participate in the Phase 2 studies.
• No flare-up symptoms within the past 4 weeks, including at the time of enrollment.
• Abstinent or using two highly effective forms of birth control.
• Accessible for treatment and follow-up; able to undergo all study procedures including low-dose WBCT (excluding head) without sedation.

Key Exclusion Criteria:

• Weight <10 kg.
• Concomitant medications that are strong inhibitors or inducers of cytochrome P450 (CYP450) 3A4 activity; or kinase inhibitors such as imatinib.
• Amylase or lipase >2x above the upper limit of normal (ULN) or with a history of chronic pancreatitis.
• Elevated aspartate aminotransferase or alanine aminotransferase >2.5x ULN.
• Fasting triglycerides >400 mg/dL with or without therapy.
• Female subjects who are breastfeeding.
• Subjects with uncontrolled cardiovascular, hepatic, pulmonary, gastrointestinal, endocrine, metabolic, ophthalmologic, immunologic, psychiatric, or other significant disease.
• Simultaneous participation in another clinical research study (other than palovarotene studies) within 4 weeks prior to Screening; or within five half-lives of the investigational agent, whichever is longer.
• Any reason that, in the opinion of the Investigator, would lead to the inability of the subject and/or family to comply with the protocol.
