MO-Ped Trial is First-ever Clinical Trial of an Investigational Agent for Treatment of MO

Clarissa Desjardins, Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer of Clementia, stated that the initiation of the MO-Ped Trial marks the second global, late-stage study now underway for palovarotene. This trial is the first-ever clinical trial of an investigational agent for the treatment of MO. Clarissa added that Palovarotene’s mechanism of action, which is to inhibit BMP signaling, along with its promising preclinical data and favorable tolerability profile in clinical studies, gives hope that this could be the first safe and effective treatment for MO.

The Phase-2 MO-Ped Trial

The MO-Ped Trial will enroll 240 patients ranging in age from 2 to 14 years old at approximately 29 centers in 12 countries around the world. Patients enrolled will be randomized into one of three arms to receive a weight adjusted equivalent of 2.5 mg or 5.0 mg of palovarotene daily, or placebo. The primary efficacy endpoint of the trial is the rate of new osteochondromas (OCs) in the two treatment groups as assessed by whole body MRI, versus the placebo control group. Secondary endpoints include the change in the total volume of OCs, the rate of new or worsening deformities and the rate of MO-related surgeries. Enrolled patients will be treated for 24 months. Clementia expects the 12-month interim data readout to be in the first half of 2020, with 24-month top-line results from the study in the first half of 2021.

Clementia Initiated Phase-3 MOVE Trial for Palovarotene in Patients with Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva

In December 2017, the Company commenced the MOVE Trial, its Phase-3 registration study evaluating the safety and efficacy of palovarotene for the treatment of patients with fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP). The MOVE Trial will be conducted at approximately 20 centers in 16 countries around the world. Completion of enrollment in the trial is expected by the end of 2018. FOP is a rare, severely disabling disorder characterized by heterotopic ossification (HO), or bone that forms outside the normal skeleton in muscles, tendons or soft tissue.

About Multiple Osteochondromas

MO, also called multiple hereditary exostoses, or MHE, is an ultra-rare, severely disabling, progressive, chronic disease in which multiple benign bone tumors known as OCs, or osteocartilaginous exostoses, develop on bones. MO is typically diagnosed in early childhood when OCs become visible with a median age at diagnosis of four years. These osteochondromas usually continue to grow until shortly after puberty and may lead to bone deformities, skeletal abnormalities, short stature, nerve compression and reduced range of motion. Today, the only available treatments for MO are surgery and palliative care, and many patients will undergo surgery, some as many as 30 surgeries, before adulthood.

About Palovarotene

Palovarotene is an RARγ agonist being developed as a treatment for patients with ultra-rare and debilitating bone diseases, including MO and FOP, as well as other diseases. Palovarotene was found to inhibit the formation of osteochondromas (OCs) in mouse models of MO, supporting the initiation of the MO-Ped Trial in the MO indication. Palovarotene has received Orphan Drug status for FOP and MO from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and orphan status for the treatment of FOP in the EU. In addition, palovarotene has been granted Fast Track and Breakthrough Therapy designations for FOP from the FDA.
