How to Use ACE-031

Complete guide to ACE-031 dosing, administration, timing, and protocol recommendations.

Quick Overview

ACE-031 was an experimental muscle-building drug, technically a fusion protein that joins the activin receptor type IIB to the Fc portion of an antibody, designed to mop up myostatin and related growth-limiting signals from the bloodstream. It was developed by Acceleron Pharma and tested in boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy with the goal of preserving muscle. It is not approved, and its development was stopped over safety concerns, so it exists today only as a discontinued investigational compound.
