Gevorg Yaghjyan: Targeting Myostatin in Clinical Trials to Preserve Muscle During Weight Loss
Gevorg Yaghjyan, Project Leader at Parexel, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“Obesity drugmakers chase weight loss. Biohaven is betting on muscles.
GLP-1s deliver weight loss, but trials keep showing a catch: approximately 25-40% of that loss can be lean muscle mass.
Biohaven’s approach: target myostatin in clinical trials to preserve muscle during weight loss.
The hypothesis — better body composition, not just lower weight, drives long-term outcomes.If the data holds, the next obesity trial endpoint might not be pounds lost. It might be muscle retained.
The weight loss race is crowded. The muscle preservation lane is wide open.”
