Mid-size French drugmaker Ipsen (Euronext: IPN) is hoping to be lucky third time around in its bid to gain US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for palovarotene for the prevention of heterotopic ossification in patients with fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP).

The firm then received a complete response letter from the FDA late last year, in response to the company’s second submission.
