This study is researching an experimental drug called garetosmab, referred to as "study drug". The study is focused on children and adolescent participants with FOP. The aim of the study is to see how safe, tolerable, and effective the study drug is. The study is looking at several other research questions, including: * What side effects may happen from taking the study drug * How much study drug is in the blood at different times * Whether the body makes antibodies against the study drug (which could make the study drug less effective or could lead to side effects)

Change from baseline in Tanner puberty scale
Tanner puberty scale or stages: Staging of sexual development is graded on a 5-point ordinal scale ranging from 1 (prepubertal) to 5 (adultlike) for female breast development, male external genitals, and pubic hair
Time frame: At week 28 and week 56
Characteristics of menstrual cycles for female participants who reached menarche
Time frame: Over 28 weeks and 56 weeks
Height-for-age Z-Scores according to the World Health Organization (WHO) Growth Reference Data for Children
Participants 5-19 years of age Z-score represents standardized measure of how far an individual deviated from study cohort average at baseline. A higher Z-score reflects better performance.
Time frame: Through week 56
Concentrations of total activin A in serum
Time frame: Through week 56
Occurence of Anti-Drug Antibody (ADA) to garetosmab
Time frame: Through week 56
Magnitude of ADA to garetosmab
Time frame: Through week 56
Change from baseline in hearing function as assessed by audiometry
Time frame: At week 28 and week 56
Change from baseline in Pediatric Quality of Life inventory (PedsQL) scores
Age-appropriate PedsQL Generic Core Scales will be used to measure HRQoL in children and adolescents. Response options include 5-point Likert scale (or 3-point Likert scale for the young children self-report) for each item asking about experience within the past week. Global scores are transformed to a 0 to 100 scale with higher scores indicating better quality of life.
Time frame: At week 28 and week 56
Acceptability and tolerability assessment via exit interview
Each interview will be conducted by trained external interviewers following a semi-structured interview guide of questions for the participants about their overall experience in the trial.
Time frame: Up to week 30
