What is the purpose of this trial?

This trial is testing a medication called palovarotene to help people with a rare condition called Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva (FOP). FOP causes muscles and other soft tissues to turn into bone. Palovarotene aims to stop this abnormal bone growth by blocking certain signals in the body. The study includes both adults and children.
