MOLECULE PROFILE

ACE-031

Protein or biologic

ActRIIB ligand trap, affecting myostatin-related signaling.

Sources checked · October 16, 2026

Published for review · Scientific, medical, translation and citation review pending. Reported uses are not authorized indications. Frequency reflects mentions in supplied sources, not sales or global clinical prevalence.

Identity and synonyms

Identity follows the supplied name and synonyms; no additional identity description is supplied.

Protein or biologic · Fusion protein

Detailed molecular class: Soluble activin receptor fusion protein

Supplied sequence or chemical reference

See identity note; no supplier sequence accepted as verification.

Mechanism

ActRIIB ligand trap, affecting myostatin-related signaling.

Evidence and critical reading

Reported scientific and empirical uses

Reported muscle and performance

ActRIIB ligand-trap fusion protein, not a simple myostatin-inhibitor injection interchangeable with other products.

Human evidence

Randomized Duchenne muscular dystrophy trial was stopped early for safety concerns; exploratory trends are not established functional benefit.

Preclinical evidence

Muscle-growth rationale does not establish improved clinical function.

Critical reading and limitations

A Duchenne trial stopped for safety; exploratory trends do not prove improved clinical function.

Evidence applies to the exact molecule, formulation, route, population and endpoint studied. Supplier identity, purity and clinical equivalence are unverified.

Source-specific regimens

Descriptive source observations, not individual recommendations.

Regulatory product labeling

No numerical human dose is assigned: reviewed sources did not verify a regimen attributable to this material, route and indication. Other molecules’ doses, animal exposures, vial amounts and dietary requirements are not substituted.

Human-study exposure

No numerical human dose is assigned: reviewed sources did not verify a regimen attributable to this material, route and indication. Other molecules’ doses, animal exposures, vial amounts and dietary requirements are not substituted.

Empirical handbook

No numerical human dose is assigned: reviewed sources did not verify a regimen attributable to this material, route and indication. Other molecules’ doses, animal exposures, vial amounts and dietary requirements are not substituted.

Regulation and safety

Jurisdiction-specific regulatory context

Jurisdiction-specific approval not verified in this card; do not infer global nonapproval.

Adverse effects and unknowns

Epistaxis and telangiectasias were reported; safety cannot be inferred from lean-mass changes.

Epistaxis/telangiectasias and off-target effects show why increased mass does not establish safety.

Contraindications

See supported safety statements and exact product label; a complete contraindication set has not been established for this catalog material.

A complete list must match the exact authorized product. For experimental materials without verified human labeling, a complete contraindication set is not established here. No list does not mean safety.

Interactions

Only explicitly cited interactions may be asserted; unstudied combinations remain unknown, not interaction-free.

Separate documented interaction, pharmacologic plausibility and unknown interaction. Absence of a blend trial does not establish compatibility.

Studies and trials

Selected studies

PMID27462804 · Randomized controlled trial

Boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy.

SC every 2–4 weeks, ascending trial.

Stopped for epistaxis/telangiectasias; functional trends were nonsignificant.

Trial product/population; does not authenticate supplier material or permit simple indirect comparisons.

Trials attributed in the package

No trials are attributed in this record.

Trial registration does not establish efficacy or validate commercial material.
