Scholar Rock (NASDAQ: SRRK), a Phase 3, clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the treatment of serious diseases in which protein growth factors play a fundamental role, announced today it will present extension data from the Phase 2 TOPAZ trial evaluating patient outcomes after 36 months of treatment with apitegromab. Apitegromab is an investigational antibody inhibiting myostatin activation by selectively binding the pro- and latent forms of myostatin and has demonstrated clinical proof of concept in spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). In two back-to-back oral presentations, Thomas O. Crawford, M.D., will present 36-month safety and efficacy data, and an analysis of patient-reported outcome measures such as fatigue, mobility, and activities of daily living at the Cure SMA Research & Clinical Care Meeting, taking place June 28-30 in Orlando, Florida.
