Accerelon plan phase 2 trial for people with FSH

One way scientists are trying to improve muscle strength in people with neuromuscular conditions is by blocking the activity of proteins that negatively regulate muscle growth (such as myostatin).

The company are now planning to advance the drug into phase 2 clinical trial and test its effectiveness in people with facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy.
