We are proud to announce the official publication of our Brief Outlines: The Medical Guidelines for FOP. These guidelines are a summary of the main document.

On behalf of the International Clinical Council on FOP (ICC) and its 21 members, 2 emeritus members, and six consultants, we are pleased to introduce the 2024 edition of THE MEDICAL MANAGEMENT OF FIBRODYSPLASIA OSSIFICANS PROGESSIVA: CURRENT TREATMENT CONSIDERATIONS (also known as The FOP Treatment Guidelines). The ICC has worked assiduously on this document which represents a monumental effort on the part of many. This report contains many new sections that we hope you will find useful, as well as completely updated sections that you found useful in the past.

You will notice the Executive Summary of Key Practice Points (Section II). It is conservative, informative, and balanced – supported by the detailed exposition of the larger report. We emphasize that this document reflects the authors’ experience and opinions on the various topics and classes of symptom-modifying medications and is meant only as a guide to this area of therapeutics for the... Twenty-one ICC members and five consultants from 14 countries, chosen for their clinical expertise in FOP, collaborated to develop this summary statement. Participants included anesthesiologists, endocrinologists, rheumatologists, orthopaedic surgeons, clinical geneticists, molecular geneticists, neonatologists, pediatricians, internists, physiatrists, geriatricians, dermatologists, dentists, oral surgeons and a non-voting representative from a parent support group. All participants completed a conflict-of-interest declaration.

The consensus was supported by academic funding, without pharmaceutical industry support. A modified Delphi-like consensus methodology was adopted (Di Rocco et al., 2017). A comprehensive literature search was conducted using Pub Med and the search terms “fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva.” Additional relevant articles on FOP were also identified by Pub Med searches when supplementary information was necessary. A comprehensive review of >2900 articles formed the basis of discussion by the Publications Committee of the ICC. Preparations for the consensus took place over 12 months, including multiple preparatory meetings and regular teleconference discussions between the working group members. In addition, recommendations were incorporated for widespread consideration from Di Rocco et al., 2017 and Hsiao et al., 2019.

At consensus meetings, propositions and recommen-dations were considered by participants and discussed in plenary session enabling reformulation of the rec-ommendations, if necessary. As FOP is an ultra-rare condition, evidence-based statements are generally moderate to low. If published data were unavailable or insufficient, experts’ clinical experiences and opinions were considered. Finally, all clinical experts ratified the executive summary. All revisions have been conducted with the same standards. The diagnosis of FOP is clinical (skeletal malformations including malformed great toes, soft tissue swelling and progressive heterotopic ossification (HO) but requires genetic confirmation (ACVR1 gene mutation).

If FOP is suspected, all elective procedures such as surgeries, biopsies, and immunizations should be deferred until a definitive diagnosis is made. Emergent medical care should be provided. Each patient should have a primary physician who is willing to consult with an FOP expert and help coordinate a local care team. Patients and their families should be informed about the International Clinical Council on FOP (ICC), the International FOP Association (IFOPA), and country-specific support groups at the time of diagnosis. Physical ActivitiesActivity is encouraged at all ages, but passive range of motion (motion performed by someone other than the patient in other words, a movement of a joint carried out by an operator without... Singing, water exercises, and activities for respiratory health are encouraged.

Avoid soft tissue injuries, contact sports, overstretching of soft tissues, muscle fatigue, biopsies, removal of heterotopic bone and all non-emergent surgical procedures. Function: To establish the ICC governing rules, membership terms, auditing processes, bylaws Function: To guard the health and safety of FOP patients by supporting transparency and compliance with Good Clinical Practices Function: To provide the external communications to the public
