    End point description
    A responder was defined as a participant with no or minimal new HO at original flare-up site compared with baseline (pre-dose data from PVO-1A-201 study). Minimal new HO was defined as new HO with an HO score <=3 in both the anterior/posterior (AP) and lateral projections (or if 1 view is non-interpretable or non-evaluable, then remaining evaluable view was used). The HO score ranged from 0 to 6 where, 0 = no HO and 6 = single contiguous HO with longest dimension >2 diameters of reference normotopic bone in any projection. Highest HO score from 2 projections was used. Part A: Efficacy population included all participants in the treated population who had an evaluable Week 6 or Week 12 image [computed tomography (CT) scan or plain radiograph]. Part B: Flare-up population included all participants in the treated population who took at least 1 dose of palovarotene during flare-up based treatment in Part B. Here, n = total number of flare-ups at specific timepoint.

    Plain radiographs were utilized in Part A of the study. The interpretation of radiographs was to have documented the absence or presence of new HO at the flare-up site compared with the baseline assessment, and the volume of new HO if present. Low-dose CT scans were utilized in Part B of the study. Low-dose, flare-up site-specific CT scan was used as the primary imaging assessment of HO for flare-ups and low-dose, WBCT scans were used as the primary imaging assessment for total body HO in those participants receiving chronic treatment. Part A: The Efficacy population included all participants in the treated population who had an evaluable Week 6 or Week 12 image (CT scan or plain radiograph). Part B: The Flare-up population included all participants in the treated population who took at least 1 dose of palovarotene during flare-up based treatment in Part B.

    End point description
    Blood and urine samples for cartilage, bone, angiogenesis, and inflammation biomarkers were evaluated during Part A and Part B of the study. Bone and cartilage biomarkers included: osteocalcin, bone-specific alkaline phosphatase (ALP), procollagen type 1-N-terminal pro-peptide (PINP), cartilage-derived (CD) retinoic acid protein, procollagen type 1-C-terminal pro-peptide (PICP), and C-terminal telopeptide. Angiogenesis included urinary basic fibroblast growth factor. Inflammation included erythrocyte sedimentation rate, C-reactive protein, Interleukin(IL)-6, IL-1 beta, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha, creatine phosphokinase, and lactate dehydrogenase. Based on emerging data from studies PVO-1A-001, PVO-1A-201, and Parts A and B of PVO-1A-202, biomarkers were removed from the evaluation during Part C.

    Parts A and B: Change From Baseline in Active Range of Motion (ROM) at Flare-up Site at Week 12
    End point description
    Active range of motion was assessed by goniometer in Part A, B and C of the study. Measurements were performed by trained and qualified study personnel (eg, physiotherapist) in order to standardize the performance of procedures and minimize variability. Flare-ups at the primary joint was expressed as percent of normal arc of motion. Based on the change in the schedule for flare-up based assessments, active range of motion was not assessed during Part C. Baseline was defined as pre-dose data from Study PVO-1A-201 for follow-up component and flare-up screening/Day 1 for flare-up component for Part A and flare-up screening/baseline for Part B. Part A: Efficacy population included all participants in the treated population who had an evaluable Week 6 or Week 12 image [computed tomography (CT) scan or plain radiograph]. Part B: Flare-up population included all participants in the treated population who took at least 1 dose of palovarotene during flare-up based treatment in Part B.

    End point description
    The ROM was assessed by the Investigator using Cumulative Analogue Joint Involvement Scale (CAJIS) for participants in Part B and C. It includes 12 joints (shoulder, elbow, wrist, hip, knee, and ankle on both the right and left sides), and 3 body regions (jaw, cervical spine [neck], and thoracic/lumbar spine). Each joint/region was assessed as: 0=uninvolved; 1=partially involved; and 2=completely ankylosed. The total score range is 0 (no involvement) to 30 (maximally involved). The CAJIS data were not analyzed in Part A. Baseline was flare-up screening/Baseline for Part B and chronic Day 1 for Part C. Part B: Flare-up population included all participants in the treated population who took at least 1 dose of palovarotene during flare-up based treatment in Part B. Part C: Safety analysis set. Here, n= total number of flare-ups at specific timepoint for Part B and number of participants for Part C and 99999 = not evaluated at specific timepoint.

    Part A: Change From Baseline in Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) Pain and Swelling or Faces Pain Scale-Revised (FPS-R) at Weeks 2, 4, 6, 9, and 12
    End point description
    The NRSs for pain and swelling were used in Part A of the study to evaluate the effect of palovarotene on pain and swelling at the flare-up site. Flare-up pain was rated on a scale ranging from 0 (no pain or swelling) to 10 (worst pain or swelling ever experienced). For children less than 8 years old, pain was rated using the FPS-R, which ranges from 0 to 10 in 2-point increments where 0 = no pain and 10 = very much pain. Flare-up swelling was rated on a scale from 0 to 10 where 0 = no swelling and 10 = worst swelling ever experienced. Higher scores indicate worst quality of life for all scales. Baseline was pre-dose data from PVO-1A-201 study/flare-up screening/Day 1. Part A: The Efficacy population included all participants in the treated population who had an evaluable Week 6 or Week 12 image (CT scan or plain radiograph).

    End point description
    The FOP assistive devices and adaptations questionnaire was used in Part A and Part B of the study. Assistive devices and adaptations were grouped into the following categories: mobility aids, care attendants, eating tools, personal care tools/aids, bathroom aids and devices, bedroom aids and devices, home adaptations, work environment adaptations, technology adaptations, sports and recreation adaptations, school, and medical therapies for daily living. When a flare-up did not use an assistive device or adaptation or considered the assistive device or adaptation not applicable, 0 was imputed for analysis. Part A: The Efficacy population; Part B: The Flare-up population. Here, n = total number of flare-ups at specific timepoint and 99999 = not evaluated at specific timepoint.

    End point description
    A responder was defined as a participant with no or minimal new HO at original flare-up site compared with baseline (flare-up screening/Day 1). Minimal new HO was defined as new HO with an HO score <=3 in both the AP and lateral projections (or if 1 view is non-interpretable or non-evaluable, then remaining evaluable view was used). The HO score ranged from 0 to 6 where, 0 = no HO and 6 = single contiguous HO with longest dimension >2 diameters of the reference normotopic bone in any projection. Highest HO score from 2 projections was used. Results from the Primary Read reviews are presented. The Efficacy population included all participants in the treated population who had an evaluable Week 6 or Week 12 image (CT scan or plain radiograph).

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    30 Sep 2014
    Added that any participant unable to attend the site visits at study Months 6 and/or 12 would undergo all assessments that could be performed either by telephone or remotely in order to continue to monitor participants who were unable to attend site visits during the follow-up component. Specified that any participant with a flare-up who did not meet the inclusion/exclusion criteria for the flare-up component would not receive palovarotene, but that these participants would undergo all assessments that could be performed either by telephone or remotely in order to continue to monitor the flare-ups of these participants.
    22 Jun 2015
    Noted that in the follow-up component, the original flare-up from study PVO-1A-201 would be assessed at only 1 additional time point at study Month 12 and assessments for this visit could be performed in conjunction with any of the visits for the flare-up component that occurred no more than 7 months before the study Month 12 visit. Added that the FPS-R would be used to assess flare-up pain in participants under 8 years of age. In addition, swelling would be assessed by parents using the NRS. Noted that the C-SSRS was to be administered to participants 8 years of age and older. Added that the FOP assistive devices and adaptations questionnaire could be completed by the participant or parent. Added participant (or parent of participant under 8 years of age) and Investigator global assessment of movement to include an overall assessment of flare-up joint movement as evaluated by participants and Investigators. Added the CAJIS to obtain an additional assessment of range of motion. Added the use of US to evaluate soft tissue swelling at the time of a new, distinct flare-up to allow for the evaluation of soft tissue swelling in participants unable to undergo MRI. Clarified that for participants experiencing a new, distinct flare-up, HO would be assessed by low-dose CT scan or plain radiographs for participants that were unable to undergo CT scan. Added that if a participant required dose de-escalation due to an intolerable side effect in study PVO-1A-201, then the dose the participant would receive for a subsequent flare-up would be determined by the Investigator and the Medical Monitor. Added that if a participant required dose de-escalation, and the participant was already receiving the lowest possible dose, then study drug was discontinued to ensure the safety of participants. Added abdomen and chest to flare-up site to include additional flare-up sites with a high likelihood of forming HO.
    10 Mar 2016
    Noted that the study would be conducted in 2 parts to allow for the analysis of data obtained with dosing regimens specific to the protocol amendments. Part A included all data obtained prior to amendment 3. Part B included all data obtained under amendment 3. Specified that the primary objective would evaluate the safety and efficacy of different palovarotene dosing regimens in preventing HO following a flare-up in order to expand the dose range being evaluated in the palovarotene Phase 2 development program. Revised the total study population to include 40 participants who successfully completed study PVO-1A-201 and up to 20 new adult cohort participants who had a confirmed R206H mutation, at least 2 acute symptomatic flare-ups in the past 2 years but no flare-up symptoms in the past 4 weeks, a CAJIS score of 6 to 16, inclusive, and must have been able to receive chronic dosing. Added chronic treatment of 5 mg palovarotene once daily to participants in the adult cohort. Noted that dosing could be extended beyond Week 12 (84 days; in 4-week intervals) if the flare-up was ongoing and continue until the flare-up resolved, with remote visits performed every 2 weeks while on treatment. Added neck and lower back to eligible flare-up locations to allow for the evaluation of HO formation across the majority of body regions affected by FOP. Added that skin protectants may have been used prophylactically to minimize any potential tolerability issues related to study drug. Added that palovarotene was to be supplied as 10.0, 6.0 (2x3 mg), 5.0, 4.0, 3.0, and 2.5 mg to update the palovarotene dosage strengths that were provided to participants. Added remote visits every 3 months for participants in the adult cohort receiving chronic treatment to assess for any safety concerns associated with chronic treatment. Updated total blood volume drawn for the participants in the adult and pediatric cohorts to ensure that the total blood volume drawn was within established limits.
    01 Sep 2017
    Specified that data from Part C would be obtained under Amendment 4 to allow for the analysis of the data obtained with the dosing regimens utilized under Amendment 4. Noted that in Part C, participants who participated in Part B would be followed for up to an additional 36 months to allow for provision of study medication until commercial availability. Revised the assessment of efficacy to be assessed by low-dose WBCT scan, excluding head, to reduce participant burden and better assess development of new HO by omitting low-dose, flare-up site-specific CT scan, MRI, ultrasound, and/or plain radiographs, and utilizing only annual low-dose WBCT scan to assess new HO. Included information for end of treatment and end of study assessments in the protocol to provide direction for study sites when participants completed treatment or finished the study. Added chronic treatment with 5 mg palovarotene once daily (weight-adjusted doses) for skeletally immature participants. Added FOP-PFQ and PROMIS Global Health Scale to chronic treatment secondary endpoints to continue to monitor patient-reported assessment of physical function (FOP-PFQ), and physical and mental health (PROMIS Global Health Scale). Added FOP-PFQ, PROMIS Global Health Scale, and CAJIS to the remote assessments performed every 6 months to continue to monitor FOP-PFQ, PROMIS Global Health Scale, and CAJIS throughout the study. Removed assessment of assistive devices and adaptations, and removed coagulation and biomarkers from clinical laboratory tests for chronic treatment to reduce participant burden. Added a study diary for chronic treatment to document dose of study drug taken each day. Removed the specification that treatment would only occur for up to 3 flare-ups during the entire study to provide continued treatment for participants who experienced greater than 3 flare-ups over the course of the study.
    06 Jun 2018
    Specified that data from Part C would be obtained under Amendment 4 and subsequent amendments to allow for the analysis of the data obtained with the dosing regimens utilized under Amendment 4 and any subsequent amendments. Added blood sampling for PK analysis during chronic dosing for all participants to evaluate palovarotene PK during chronic dosing. Added that herbal preparations containing vitamin A or beta carotene were not permitted from the day before the start of treatment until the last day of treatment to clarify the content of herbal preparations that are excluded. Included a reference to and description of the PVO-1A-301 BSMP and additional safety assessments to be followed in this study to enhance participant safety monitoring. Added that participants were to be reassessed for child bearing status (females only) and pregnancy prevention measures (females and males) every 3 month to provide continued safety monitoring. Changed visit windows from ±3 days to ±5 days for flare-up based treatment to allow for flexibility for assessments to be performed. Added that the Investigator would be notified about any protocol-specified safety laboratory test that could not be obtained or was not usable. Added that if the study was closed due to safety concerns, then all participants exposed to the investigational drug would be followed for safety with the length of follow-up determined based on the safety risk. This change was to clarify procedures of safety monitoring in the event of safety-based study termination.
    08 Mar 2019
    Changed the timing of clinical laboratory assessments during chronic treatment from every 3 months to every 6 months. Blood volumes were adjusted to reflect the change. Changed the timing of clinical laboratory assessments, C-SSRS, vital signs, and body weight determination during a flare-up cycle. Noted that flare-up based dosing was to be initiated if the Investigator confirmed the presence of a substantial, high-risk traumatic event likely to lead to a flare-up. Increased the window from ±2 to ±4 weeks for when a flare-up safety visit was required after the final flare-up safety visit in a previous cycle to ensure that all assessments were performed within a workable timeframe. Changed the criteria to discontinue palovarotene in the event that ALT was >3× ULN if accompanied by any bilirubin increase of >2× ULN. Specified the conditions in which participants were to receive the flare-up based treatment regimen. Added dose-adjusted equivalents for 2.5 mg to tables in the protocol synopsis. Also, deleted inaccurate text indicating that dose de-escalation were associated with only flare-up based dosing. Added text and literature references describing the influence of trauma on flare-up and HO formation.
    01 Nov 2019
    Added radiographic assessments of the knee and hand/wrist to be performed every 3 months in those participants who (1) received the flare-up dosing regimen in the period of time since their last radiographic assessment; and (2) had not achieved 100% skeletal maturity on their last radiographic assessment. Added 6-month radiographic assessments of the knee and hand/wrist in skeletally immature participants to enhance participant safety and align with the more rigorous safety procedures in the Phase 3 study. During flare-up dosing, timing of safety assessments were changed to recur every 12 weeks (instead of every 8 weeks) after flare-up cycle safety Day 1 until treatment of the last flare-up or traumatic event in the cycle was completed. The 4-week safety assessment would no longer be performed. Updated palovarotene, PK, efficacy, and safety findings from the FOP interventional trials to make the most relevant clinical information available to the study sites. Revised the vendor contact information to ensure that contact information was up-to-date. Added the process for selecting the Coordinating Investigator to comply with EMA regulations.
    30 Nov 2020
    Added Part D for skeletally immature participants who stopped taking study drug for any reason before completion of Part C. Part D includes yearly visits for up to a 2-year follow-up period following the last dose. No dosing occurs during Part D. The up to 2-year period begins the last day the participant stops receiving study drug in Part C. The total duration of participation in Part C and Part D is a maximum of 4 years. Secondary objective added for Part D to monitor off treatment longer-term safety in skeletally immature participants off treatment. Safety was also summarized for Part D. In Part C, participants could continue on the study for up to an additional 12 months to allow for the provision of study medication until commercial availability. Added assessments for spinal health carried out on low-dose WBCT scans collected in the study. Emerging data from the PVO-2A-201 trial in the multiple osteochondroma indication has suggested a potential effect of PVO on bone mineral accrual. Integrated protocol amendment 7 addendum previously created to describe temporary measures applied during the corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Additional update to these temporary measures was included to clarify that radiographic assessments are required for participants ≥14 years (who were skeletally immature at their last assessment) as part of the minimal safety procedures prior to re-initiation of palovarotene. This was added to assess skeletal maturity in participants ≥14 years re-initiating treatment to ensure appropriate safety follow up as well as determine if weight-based dosing is required.

    Interruptions (globally)

    Were there any global interruptions to the trial? Yes
    Date
    Interruption
    Restart date
    04 Dec 2019
    As of 04 December 2019, all participants <14 years of age were required to interrupt study drug due to a partial clinical hold placed on the palovarotene clinical development program by the FDA. On 24-Jan-2020, treatment was temporarily halted in all participants 14 years and older in the palovarotene FOP trials including PVO-1A-202/204 when the futility boundary was crossed at an interim analysis in the Phase 3 PVO-1A-301 study. After post-hoc analyses showed that the pre-specified analyses may have skewed and negatively affected the results, dosing was re-initiated only in participants 14 years and above who were able and willing to re-start treatment (in the context of COVID-19 conditions, starting 04 June 2020).
