Scholar Rock gets FDA nod for SMA drug ISEMBYLD, eyeing $2B+ market with global expansion plans.

Scholar Rock Holding Corporation received FDA approval for its drug ISEMBYLD (apitegromab) to treat spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) in patients aged 2 years and older. This approval opens a market opportunity exceeding $2 billion, with potential growth into younger patients, subcutaneous versions, and new diseases like facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD). The company plans to resubmit its marketing authorization application in Europe and file for approval in Japan by the end of 2026, supported by a validated manufacturing facility. Scholar Rock currently holds $492.1 million in cash to fund operations through the second half of 2027 but may raise additional capital as commercialization progresses. Pricing and reimbursement remain key risks to watch.

Scholar Rock's recent FDA approval for its SMA drug is the subject, with Pluang's health sector data providing market context. As of Sep 16, 2026 02:01 WIB, among 91 priced US health-sector stocks on Pluang, 24 advanced while 66 declined. Notable movers include BBIO at USD 68.51 with a -5.35% change, NBIX at USD 149.47 down 4.93%, and FLNA at USD 0.69 falling 4.66%.
