In this study, we conducted a translational pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) analysis of MYO-029, an anti-myostatin monoclonal antibody, using PK data in mice, rats, monkeys, humans, mouse tissue distribution data with <sup>125</sup> I-labeled MYO-029, muscle weight increase in SCID mice, and muscle circumference changes in monkeys. This analysis revealed significant ...[more]
