    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for determining whether a patient will respond to treatment with a myostatin pathway inhibitor, the method comprising: (a) determining a level of myostatin and/or activin type II receptor (ActRII) and/or follistatin in at least one muscle biopsy obtained from a treatment target muscle in a subject having or suspected of having muscle atrophy or a muscle wasting condition; and (b) determining a level of myostatin and/or follistatin in a systemic sample obtained from the patient, wherein if: (i) the level of myostatin in the systemic sample is higher than a threshold and/or if the level of follistatin in the sample is lower than a threshold; and (ii) the level of myostatin and/or ActRII receptor in the at least one biopsy sample is higher than a threshold level and/or if the level of follistatin in the at least one biopsy sample is lower than a threshold level, the patient will respond to treatment.

    CPC classification number: A61K31/20

    Abstract: A compound having the formula (I) R1-COOH. R1 is an alkyl or alkenyl group having a C7-11 backbone, optionally branched with a C1-6 alkyl group at any C position in the backbone, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, amide or ester thereof. The backbone of the alkyl or alkenyl group, and/or the branched alkyl groups, are optionally interrupted by one or more heteroatoms, provided that when R1 is an alkyl group having a C7 backbone, the branching does not consist only of a hexyl group at the a carbon of R1, or only of a methyl group at the γ carbon of R1, or of only single methyl groups at both the β and ω-1 carbons of R1, and provided that when R1 is an alkyl group having a C8 or C11 backbone, the branching does not consist only of a propyl group at the a carbon of R1.
