Trevogrumab is a fully human monoclonal antibody that functions as a selective inhibitor of myostatin (GDF8), a key negative regulator of skeletal muscle growth and mass. By binding and neutralizing myostatin, Trevogrumab prevents its interaction with activin type 2 receptors (ActRIIA/B), thereby reducing myostatin-mediated signaling and allowing increased muscle growth and preservation.[2]
This drug was developed by Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc.[3]
