Regeneron Pharmaceuticals shares safety and efficacy information from the clinical trial of garetosmab, a fully-human monoclonal antibody blocking activin A
On January 12, 2023, Regeneron Pharmaceuticals published LUMINA-1 Phase II Trial Results in medRxiv. medRxiv publishes preprints that have not been certified by peer review. You can see a list of authors on this publication below.

What’s Included in the medRxiv Publication
The medRxiv publication includes a 386-word Abstract, a 52-page publication and 67 pages of Supplementary Material. There is a lot of information in the Supplementary Material, so we have created a table of contents below.
Thank You
As we see the first published results of the garetosmab LUMINA-1 Phase II Trial, which also includes case summaries of the individuals with FOP who passed away, we are grateful for the 44 families that participated in this important clinical trial. We also appreciate the work of the trial investigators and their commitment to FOP families. We are also grateful to Regeneron Pharmaceuticals for their commitment to the FOP community and the development of garetosmab. We await publication in a peer-reviewed journal.

Key Terms
Some key terms you'll find in the publication.
Period 1 – Adult patients with FOP were randomized to garetosmab or placebo for 28 weeks
Period 2 – Open-label treatment period where all adult patients received garetosmab for 28 weeks
Open-label Extension – Patients were allowed to stay on garetosmab in an open-label extension following the end of Period 2
Adverse Event (AE) and Treatment Emergent Adverse Event (TEAE)
Source: European Patients’ Academy on Therapeutic Innovation
In medicines development terminology, an adverse event is any undesirable event that occurs after a participant officially consents to take part in a trial
(and could occur before treatment begins).
An adverse event may or may not be associated with the medicine under investigation, but must be documented because it happened during the trial period.
Treatment emergent adverse events are undesirable events not present prior to medical treatment, or an already present event that worsens either in intensity or frequency following the treatment.
A treatment emergent adverse event is an adverse event that occurs only once treatment has started.
HO-Total Lesion Activity (HO-TLA) – Heterotopic ossification total lesion activity (evaluated by 18F-sodium fluoride positron emission tomography ([18F-NaF PET])
HO Total Lesion Volume – Heterotopic ossification total lesion activity evaluated by computed tomography (CT) scan
