The National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS) awarded a $407,792 Project Grant (CFDA 93.350) to Nostopharma LLC, a woman-owned small disadvantaged business, to develop a novel localized treatment for Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva (FOP), an ultrarare genetic disease. The project aims to create extended-release formulations of Hedgehog pathway inhibitors, such as arsenic trioxide, encapsulated in immunomodulatory nanoparticles for intramuscular administration. The goal is to eliminate systemic drug exposure and directly target the aberrant bone formation in FOP while reducing associated side effects. This preclinical proof-of-concept study will screen dosing and frequency required to significantly reduce heterotopic ossification in an FOP mouse model. The award period is from July 2025 to June 2027.
