( 8.2 ) 8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary PASATRU is contraindicated for use during pregnancy. Based on its mechanism of action and data from animal reproduction studies, PASATRU can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.1) ] . There are no available data on PASATRU during pregnancy to evaluate for a drug associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage, or other adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. Although there are no data on PASATRU exposure during pregnancy, monoclonal antibodies can be actively transported across the placenta. Inhibition of activin A signaling by PASATRU during pregnancy may adversely affect embryogenesis and fetal organogenesis, including development of the reproductive system (see Clinical Considerations ) . In an enhanced pre- and post-natal developmental (ePPND) toxicity study, intravenous administration of garetosmab-grts to pregnant cynomolgus monkeys resulted in developmental toxicity, including post-natal malformations, neurobehavioral deficits, and infant mortality at exposures equivalent to or higher than those in patients at the recommended human doses of PASATRU 10 mg/kg or 3 mg/kg every 4 weeks, respectively ( see Data ). If pregnancy occurs during treatment with PASATRU, discontinue treatment immediately, and advise the patient to contact their healthcare provider. The background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. All pregnancies have a background risk of birth defect, loss, or other adverse outcomes. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2 to 4% and 15 to 20%, respectively. Clinical Considerations Fetal/Neonatal Adverse Reactions Transport of endogenous IgG antibodies across the placenta increases as pregnancy progresses, and peaks during the third trimester. Therefore, it is expected that PASATRU may be present in infants exposed in utero. The potential clinical impact of PASATRU exposure in infants exposed in utero should be considered. Data Animal Data In an ePPND toxicity study, pregnant cynomolgus monkeys were administered intravenous doses of garetosmab-grts 5 mg/kg or 50 mg/kg once weekly beginning from gestation day 20 through delivery, with no evidence of maternal toxicity at either dose level. An increased incidence of post-natal malformations, including neurological deficiencies and testes malformations, were observed in offspring at 5 mg/kg/week (approximately equivalent to or 4 times the recommended human doses of PASATRU 10 mg/kg or 3 mg/kg every 4 weeks, respectively, based on area under the concentration curve [AUC]). Increased incidences of stillbirth, premature delivery, post-natal malformations including generalized alopecia, and infant mortality were observed in offspring of pregnant monkeys receiving treatment with garetosmab-grts at 50 mg/kg/week (approximately 9 times or 31 times the recommended human doses of PASATRU 10 mg/kg or 3 mg/kg every 4 weeks, respectively, based on AUC). 8.2 Lactation Risk Summary There are no data on the presence of PASATRU in human or animal milk, the effects on the breastfed infant, or the effects on milk production. Maternal IgG is known to be present in human milk. The effects of local gastrointestinal exposure and limited systemic exposure in the breastfed infant to PASATRU are unknown. Because of the potential for serious adverse reactions of PASATRU absorption in the breastfed infant, including skin and soft tissue infections, and the potential for effects on male reproductive organ development based on the mechanism of action, advise patients that breastfeeding is not recommended during treatment with PASATRU and for 6 months after the last dose. 8.3 Females and Males of Reproductive Potential Based on animal data and mechanism of action, PASATRU can cause fetal harm when administered to pregnant women [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1) and Clinical Pharmacology (12.1) ] .

Garetosmab-grts is a human IgG4 monoclonal antibody produced by recombinant DNA technology in Chinese hamster ovary cell suspension culture. Garetosmab-grts has an approximate molecular weight of 146 kDa. PASATRU (garetosmab-grts) injection is a sterile, preservative-free solution for intravenous use. The solution is clear to slightly opalescent, colorless to pale yellow with a pH of 6.3. Each PASATRU 300 mg/5 mL vial contains 300 mg of garetosmab-grts. Each mL contains 60 mg of garetosmab-grts, arginine hydrochloride (14.7 mg), histidine (1 mg), L-histidine hydrochloride monohydrate (0.7 mg), polysorbate 20 (0.5 mg), sucrose (50 mg), and Water for Injection, USP." ], "clinical_pharmacology": [ "12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY 12.1 Mechanism of Action FOP is caused by gain-of-function mutations in the intracellular domain of activin receptor type 1 (ACVR1, also known as ALK2), a bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) type I receptor that is expressed in many tissues, including skeletal muscle and cartilage. In patients with FOP, mutant ACVR1 is activated by activin A resulting in heterotopic ossification. Garetosmab-grts is a human IgG4 monoclonal antibody that specifically binds to and inhibits signaling by activin A to block the activation of FOP-mutant ACVR1 and reduce the formation and progression of new heterotopic bone lesions. 12.2 Pharmacodynamics No pharmacodynamic studies have been conducted with garetosmab-grts. 12.3 Pharmacokinetics Following multiple doses of garetosmab-grts 10 mg/kg or 3 mg/kg administered intravenously every 4 weeks in patients with FOP, the steady-state exposures were approximately dose proportional. The mean (SD) trough concentrations at steady-state following intravenous administration of garetosmab-grts 10 mg/kg or 3 mg/kg every 4 weeks were 99 (34) mg/L or 27 (10) mg/L, respectively, in patients with FOP. Steady-state concentrations were attained by approximately 12 weeks with an accumulation ratio of approximately 1.7-fold. Distribution The estimated mean (SD) volume of distribution is 5.1 (1.2) L. Elimination Garetosmab-grts is eliminated by parallel linear and non-linear pathways. At higher concentrations, the elimination is predominantly through the linear, non-saturable proteolytic pathway, while at lower concentrations, non-linear, target-mediated clearance predominates. After the last dose of garetosmab-grts 10 mg/kg or 3 mg/kg administered intravenously every 4 weeks in patients with FOP, the median time to a non-detectable concentration was approximately 24 weeks or 17 weeks, respectively, based on population pharmacokinetic analysis. Metabolism Garetosmab-grts is expected to be degraded into small peptides and amino acids via catabolic pathways in the same manner as endogenous IgG. Specific Populations No clinically meaningful differences in the exposure of garetosmab-grts were observed in adults based on age (18 to 70 years), sex, body weight (32 to 128 kg), race (White 86%, Asian 10%, Black 1%), mild to moderate renal impairment (creatinine clearance 30 to 89 mL/min, estimated by Cockcroft-Gault equation), or mild to moderate hepatic impairment (total bilirubin > 1.5 to ≤ 3 times upper limit of normal [ULN] and any aspartate aminotransferase [AST]) following 10 mg/kg and 3 mg/kg administered once every 4 weeks. The effect of severe renal impairment or kidney failure (creatinine clearance < 30 mL/min) and severe hepatic impairment (total bilirubin > 3 times ULN and any AST) on garetosmab-grts pharmacokinetics is unknown. Since garetosmab-grts is a monoclonal antibody that is not eliminated via renal pathways and is degraded by widely distributed proteolytic enzymes rather than restricted to hepatic tissue, changes in renal or hepatic function are not expected to impact the pharmacokinetics of garetosmab-grts. Drug Interaction Studies No drug-drug interaction studies have been conducted with garetosmab-grts. 12.6 Immunogenicity The observed incidence of anti-drug antibodies is highly dependent on the sensitivity and specificity of the assay. Differences in assay methods preclude meaningful comparisons of the incidence of anti-drug antibodies in the studies described below with the incidence of anti-drug antibodies in other studies, including those of PASATRU or of other garetosmab products. Among patients with FOP who received PASATRU 10 mg/kg or 3 mg/kg every 4 weeks in clinical trials for up to 76 weeks, 1.3% (1/76) developed anti-garetosmab-grts antibodies.

Patients were randomized to receive PASATRU 10 mg/kg (N=23), PASATRU 3 mg/kg (N=19), or placebo (N=21), intravenously every 4 weeks for 56 weeks using an infusion pump. Upon completion of the first 56 weeks, 61 patients continued to receive their original assigned study treatment in a double-blind extension phase. The median age of patients was 25 (range: 18 to 42) years; 60% of patients were female; 67% of patients were White, 30% were Asian, 19% were Hispanic or Latino, and 2% were Black or African American. Ninety-five percent (95%) of patients had the R206H genetic mutation. The mean Cumulative Analog Joint Involvement Scale (CAJIS) score (range: 0 to 30) at baseline was 13 (range: 0 to 19). The primary efficacy endpoint was the number of new HO lesions at Week 56 assessed by low-dose, whole-body computed tomography (WBCT) imaging, with the treatment effect evaluated using the estimated rate ratio for the number of new HO lesions. The key secondary endpoints included the number of clinician-assessed flare-ups through Week 56, the proportion of patients with new HO lesions at Week 56; and the total volume of new HO lesions at Week 56. Statistically significant reductions in the number of new HO lesions at Week 56 were observed in patients receiving PASATRU 10 mg/kg every 4 weeks or 3 mg/kg every 4 weeks compared to placebo (90% reduction or 94% reduction for PASATRU 10 mg/kg or 3 mg/kg, respectively, compared to placebo). There were a total of 19 new HO lesions observed in 5/21 (24%) patients receiving placebo compared to 2 total lesions in 2/23 (9%) patients or 1 lesion in 1/19 (5%) patients treated with PASATRU 10 mg/kg or 3 mg/kg every 4 weeks, respectively, at Week 56 (see Table 2 ). The number of clinician-assessed flare-ups through Week 56 was 9, 53, and 66 for PASATRU 10 mg/kg, 3 mg/kg, and placebo, respectively.
