Stamulumab

Stamulumab (MYO-029[1]) is an experimental myostatin inhibiting drug developed by Wyeth Pharmaceuticals for the treatment of muscular dystrophy (MD).

Research completed in 2002 found that Stamulumab might one day prove to be an effective treatment for Duchenne muscular dystrophy.

The multiple ascending dose trial (36 patients per cohort) contained some measures of efficacy.

[2][5][6] On January 24, 2008, Wyeth announced that the study had been accepted by a peer-reviewed journal and publication was expected "in the next few months".

[8] On 11 March 2008, it was announced that Wyeth would not develop the drug further for MD, but would continue to explore myostatin inhibition along with other strategies.
