    Question

    FDA approves Scholar Rock's Isembyld for spinal muscular atrophy

    Direct answer

    Scholar Rock gained US regulatory clearance for Isembyld (apitegromab-mstn), opening a new therapeutic class in spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). The drug acts directly on muscle pathways rather than survival motor neuron (SMN) protein production, establishing an add-on market dynamic alongside established therapies.
