FIBRODYSPLASIA OSSIFICANS PROGRESSIVA (FOP) TREATMENT MARKET ANALYSIS

Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP) is a rare hereditary disorder. This disorder causes heterotopic ossification, abnormal development of bone in areas such as skeletal muscles tendons, and ligaments. The body's soft connective tissues and skeletal muscles are transformed into bone, which leads to locking of joints in place and makes the movement difficult or impossible. Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva cause malformations such as shortened great toe with a malformed distal first metatarsal, abnormally short fingers and toes (microdactyly), inward turning of the great toe toward the other toes (hallux valgus), and/or permanent fixation of the fifth finger in a bent position (clinodactyly).

Currently, there is no definitive treatment available for fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP). However, the disorder can be managed by drugs such corticosteroids which help to reduce the tissue swelling and intense inflammation observed in early stages of fibrodysplasia ossificans progressive (FOP). The unavailability of definitive treatment has encouraged the market players to increase research and development for fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva, which is likely to drive the market growth during the forecast period.
