About Palovarotene

Palovarotene is a retinoic acid receptor gamma agonist (RARγ) being investigated as a treatment for patients with debilitating bone and other diseases with high unmet medical need. Preliminary Phase 2 data in subjects with FOP mirror the decrease in heterotopic ossification (HO) volume observed in mouse models of FOP and support the initiation of a confirmatory Phase 3 program. Palovarotene also inhibits the formation of osteochondromas (OCs) in mouse models of MO, supporting development in this indication. Palovarotene has received Orphan Drug, Fast Track and Breakthrough Therapy Designations for FOP from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and was granted orphan status for the treatment of FOP in the EU.
