Abstrakt: We respond to concerns expressed by Pacifici and Shore (2019) about a recent paper (Lees-Shepard and Goldhamer, 2018a) in which we reported that the drug palovarotene can have severe side effects in a mouse model of fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva.
Competing Interests: DG No competing interests declared, JL is currently a scientist at Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, who are currently conducting trials for a drug treatment for FOP. The work reported in Lees-Shepard et al. (2018a), as well as the preliminary data noted above, was conducted entirely at the University of Connecticut and was completed more than a year before he accepted his position at Regeneron.
