Scholar Rock Releases SMA Community Update Letter on Apitegromab

Scholar Rock

Yesterday, Scholar Rock shared an SMA community update letter on their Biologics License Application (BLA) for apitegromab in SMA. As shared on September 23, 2025, Scholar Rock received a Complete Response Letter (CRL) from the FDA for the apitegromab BLA in SMA. As a reminder, the CRL was solely related to manufacturing observations identified at a third-party vialing facility, Catalent Indiana, LLC (owned by Novo Nordisk). Importantly, the CRL did not cite any other approvability concerns, including apitegromab’s efficacy and safety data.

"Our focus to urgently drive toward the BLA resubmission on behalf of SMA patients remains unchanged." -Marjorie Stewart-Hart, Vice President of Patient Advocacy, Scholar Rock
