sotatercept, ace 536

[vikasgoyal]

Is anyone on the forum aware of the trials going on for ace 536 or sotatercept? My initial thought reading the article is that it specifically targets Anemia in mDS patients.

...There's still more to do but these are very encouraging words in the PR...:cool:

"In a phase 1 clinical study of healthy volunteers, ACE-536 produced a dose-dependent increase in red blood cells and hemoglobin levels. "
