Clinical Drug Trial Announcement

An amazing day!!

July 14th was a historic day in the FOP community. We at the IFOPA are thrilled to see Clementia’s trial start. This is a time of great hope in our community. Amidst the excitement, it’s important to remember that a clinical trial is NOT a treatment. As the Penn team said in their 2014 (23rd) annual report, “… clinical trials should not be viewed as clinical treatments, but rather as well-controlled and well-supervised experiments in which a patient is putting himself or herself at risk to determine if there is potential benefit to the drug under study.”
