Trial Design

4Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Stage 2 Repeat doses every 3 monthsExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Fresolimumab will be administered every three months for a total treatment period of 12 months (Total anticipated n=4). The dose to be administered (1 or 4 mg/kg) will be chosen after completion of Stage 1. The primary Stage 2 endpoint will be safety measures assessed over 12 months. The secondary endpoints will be changes in markers of bone remodeling, bone mineral density, estimated strength. At each study visit, participants may have the following testing done: * Physical exam * Vitals * Blood draw for safety labs, pharmacokinetics, etc * If the participant is female, she will have a pregnancy test * EKG * DXA * Infusion of the study drug * Skeletal survey * Peripheral quantitative CT (pQCT) of the forearm * Quality of Life Surveys * Pulmonary function test * Walk test
Group II: Stage 2 Repeat dose every 6 monthsExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Fresolimumab will be administered every six months for a total treatment period of 12 months (Total Anticipated n=4). The dose to be administered (1 or 4 mg/kg) will be chosen after completion of Stage 1. The primary Stage 2 endpoint will be safety measures assessed over 12 months. The secondary endpoints will be changes in markers of bone remodeling, bone mineral density, estimated strength. At each study visit, participants may have the following testing done: * Physical exam * Vitals * Blood draw for safety labs, pharmacokinetics, etc * If the participant is female, she will have a pregnancy test * EKG * DXA * Infusion of the study drug * Skeletal survey * Peripheral quantitative CT (pQCT) of the forearm * Quality of Life Surveys * Pulmonary function test * Walk test
Group III: Stage 2 High doseExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
There are a total of 6 study visits within approximately a 6 month timespan. Investigators will evaluate the safety of a single administration of fresolimumab in adult patients with OI. Subjects will receive a single-dose of 4 mg/kg of fresolimumab (n=4). At each study visit, the participant may have the following testing done: * Physical exam * Vitals * Blood draw for safety labs, pharmacokinetics, etc * If the participant is female, she will have a pregnancy test * EKG * DXA * Infusion of the study drug
Group IV: Stage 1 Low doseExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
There are a total of 6 study visits within approximately a 6 month timespan. Investigators will evaluate the safety of a single administration of fresolimumab in adult patients with OI. Subjects will receive a single-dose of 1 mg/kg of fresolimumab (n=4). At each study visit, the participant may have the following testing done: * Physical exam * Vitals * Blood draw for safety labs, pharmacokinetics, etc * If the participant is female, she will have a pregnancy test * EKG * DXA * Infusion of the study drug
