Plain-language summary
This is a phase 2 study, designed as a European multicentre 6-month double blind random-ized controlled trial (RCT) of AZD0530 versus matched placebo, followed by a 12 month trial comparing open-label extended AZD0530 treatment with historical control data.
Study population: Male and female adult patients aged 18 years and older with a diagnosis of FOP who meet the inclusion (active disease) and exclusion criteria will be eligible for participation in this study. The total number of enrolled patients will be 20.
Intervention: Patients will be randomized to receive either AZD0530 100mg once daily or matched placebo, taken orally for the first 6 months, immediately followed by an open-label extension in which all patients will receive AZD0530 100mg once daily oral dose for a further 12 months.
Endpoints: Endpoints include objective change in heterotopic bone volume measured by low-dose whole-body computer tomography (CT) , \[18F\] NaF Positron Emission Tomography (PET) activity and patient reported outcome measures.

Inclusion criteria
. Male or female aged 18-65 with a clinical diagnosis of FOP at screening, including congenital malformation of the great toes and a history of spontaneous or injury-induced heterotopic ossification (HO), and have a confirmed classic FOP phenotype by the documentation of an ACVR1R206H/+ or variant genomic sequence.
. Female participants who are women of child-bearing potential will be required to use a highly effective method of contraception as defined in section 5.4, in combination with a condom or diaphragm or cervical/vault caps with spermicidal foam/gel/film/suppository), from the time of enrolment until 4 weeks after final dose of study drug, unless practicing true sexual abstinence as defined in section 5.4.
. Male participants will be required to avoid procreative sexual intercourse with women of child-bearing potential from time of enrollment until 4 weeks after final dose of study drug through use of highly effective contraceptive methods. Male participants with a pregnant female partner will be required to use a condom for the duration of the study and for 4 weeks final dose of study drug. Male study participants will not be permitted to donate sperm for from the time of enrolment and until 4 weeks after final dose of study drug.
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
