How this balance works

Rhea-AI gives every point it takes from this document a weight. Minor counts 1, Moderate 3 and Major 9, so one Major point outweighs several Minor ones. The bar adds up the weights on each side, and when neither side holds more than 65% of the total the balance reads Mixed.

It reads the document as published, with the same rules for every company, and it does not look at what the market expected or at how the stock traded, so a point can be objectively good on a day the stock falls.

Rhea-AI Sentiment measures something else, the tone of the wording.

Rare Pediatric Disease Priority Review Voucher regulatory
"sell a Rare Pediatric Disease Priority Review Voucher"
A rare pediatric disease priority review voucher is a transferable regulatory benefit awarded to a company that wins approval for a drug treating a serious but uncommon childhood illness. It works like a “fast-pass” with regulators: the holder can use it to get an accelerated review of a future drug application or sell the voucher to another company, often for a large sum. Investors care because it can speed time to market or generate immediate cash, boosting potential returns and lowering risk on other programs.
Marketing Authorisation Application regulatory
"resubmitted the apitegromab Marketing Authorisation Application"
A marketing authorisation application is the formal package a drug or medical-device maker submits to a health regulator to get permission to sell a product. Think of it as an application for a sales license: regulators review safety, effectiveness and manufacturing quality before granting permission. Investors watch these submissions because approval unlocks revenue and reduces development risk, while rejection or delays can materially affect a company’s value and timeline.
Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act regulatory
"waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act"
A U.S. law that requires companies planning large mergers or acquisitions to notify federal antitrust authorities and wait for review before completing the deal. Think of it like applying for a building permit: regulators check whether the combined business would unfairly hurt competition and can clear the deal, impose changes, or seek to stop it, so the process affects transaction timing, cost, and whether expected benefits reach investors.
Hammersmith Functional Motor Scale-Expanded medical
"HFMSE, Hammersmith Functional Motor Scale-Expanded"
A structured physical test that scores a patient’s ability to perform a series of motor tasks—sitting, standing, walking and fine movements—most often used in clinical trials for spinal muscular atrophy and similar neuromuscular conditions. It matters to investors because it provides a standardized, quantifiable “ruler” of functional improvement that regulators, clinicians and payers use to judge whether a treatment works; meaningful gains on this scale can drive positive trial readouts, approvals and commercial value.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)— November 10, 2026 — Scholar Rock (NASDAQ: SRRK), a global biopharmaceutical company dedicated to improving the lives of patients with rare, severe, and debilitating neuromuscular diseases by applying its leading platform in myostatin biology, today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2026, and provided an update on recent company developments.

“The third quarter was a defining period for Scholar Rock, marked by the FDA approval and U.S. launch of ISEMBYLD, the world’s first and only muscle-targeted therapy for children and adults living with SMA,” said David L. Hallal, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Scholar Rock. “We are very encouraged by the early ISEMBYLD launch dynamics in the U.S., where the breadth of early demand across SMA treatment centers, physicians, and patients reinforces the significant unmet need in the SMA community. With the U.S. launch underway, our regulatory applications advancing in Europe and Japan, important progress across our world-leading anti-myostatin pipeline, and our strengthened financial position, we are building a foundation to redefine the treatment of neuromuscular disease globally and drive sustainable growth for years to come.”

 

Business Highlights and Upcoming Milestones

Apitegromab Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) Program

•
ISEMBYLD (apitegromab-mstn) approved by FDA on September 11, 2026. ISEMBYLD is the first and only muscle-targeted therapy for SMA and is indicated for adults and children two years of age and older who are currently receiving a survival motor neuron 2 (SMN2)-targeted

 


 

treatment. In the Phase 3 pivotal, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled SAPPHIRE study, individuals receiving ISEMBYLD with an SMN2-targeted treatment demonstrated a robust, clinically meaningful improvement in motor function at one year while those on an SMN2-targeted therapy alone experienced a loss of motor function.
•
U.S. launch of ISEMBYLD underway with strong early patient and physician demand. The U.S. team is in the field engaging with physicians, SMA care teams, and patients as well as national and regional payers. ISEMBYLD vials were labeled, packaged, and shipped to the specialty network within one week of FDA approval. A J-code application was submitted to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) in September for an ISEMBYLD-specific J-code on April 1, 2027. Encouraging early, broad-based demand for ISEMBYLD is reflected in the breadth of prescribing physicians and enrolling patients. Early launch dynamics are reinforcing the significant opportunity to serve children and adults with SMA in the U.S.
•
Apitegromab application in Europe on track for H1 2027 Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) opinion. In alignment with guidance from the European Medicines Agency (EMA), Scholar Rock resubmitted the apitegromab Marketing Authorisation Application (MAA) for the treatment of children and adults living with SMA in October 2026. Following validation of the submission, review of the MAA is underway, and the Company expects a CHMP opinion in the first half of 2027. The resubmitted MAA includes Scholar Rock’s alternate fill-finish facility in place of the Catalent Indiana LLC fill-finish facility. The alternate fill-finish facility is the same site that supported the U.S. FDA approval of ISEMBYLD in September 2026. As the regulatory review progresses, the Scholar Rock team in Europe continues to engage with key stakeholders on SMA disease awareness and education initiatives.
•
Apitegromab Japanese New Drug Application (JNDA) submitted in Japan and accepted under priority review. Scholar Rock submitted the apitegromab JNDA in Japan, which was accepted under priority review. For priority review applications, Japan’s Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency (PMDA) has typically targeted a review cycle of approximately nine months. In addition, apitegromab for the treatment of people living with SMA was granted an Orphan Drug Designation.
•
Regulatory engagement for subcutaneous apitegromab program to progress. Scholar Rock has developed a high concentration subcutaneous formulation of apitegromab. Following the September 11, 2026 FDA approval of ISEMBYLD, the Company is engaging with regulators on the development path for this formulation. Subcutaneous apitegromab is designed to provide optionality for the SMA community as a small volume, self- or caregiver-administered anti-myostatin antibody.
•
Phase 2 OPAL trial advancing. Enrollment is well advanced and dosing is ongoing (NCT07047144). The OPAL study is evaluating apitegromab in infants and toddlers with SMA under two years of age who have received an approved SMN1-targeted gene therapy or who are receiving ongoing treatment with an approved SMN2-targeted therapy.

 

Apitegromab Facioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophy (FSHD) Program

•
Enrollment and dosing in Phase 2 FORGE trial ongoing. The Phase 2 randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, called FORGE, is expected to enroll approximately 60 patients with FSHD who will be randomized 1:1 to receive either apitegromab 10mg/kg IV or placebo every 4 weeks for 52 weeks. The primary endpoint is mean lean muscle volume (LMV) change from baseline at 12 months. Other endpoints include safety, pharmacokinetics/ pharmacodynamics,

 


 

mean LMV change from baseline at 6 months, as well as several exploratory functional endpoints. In September 2026, the FDA granted Fast Track and Orphan Drug designations to apitegromab for the treatment of people living with FSHD.

SRK-439 Program

•
Phase 1 study in healthy volunteers ongoing. A Phase 1 study evaluating SRK-439 in healthy volunteers is progressing well. Scholar Rock expects to have topline data by year end 2026 and plans to share data from this study in early 2027. SRK-439 is a novel, investigational, subcutaneously administered myostatin inhibitor that binds to pro- and latent myostatin with high affinity and selectivity. Based on non-clinical data, SRK-439 has the potential to potently inhibit myostatin and increase muscle mass.

 

Financial Update

•
Definitive agreement to sell Rare Pediatric Disease Priority Review Voucher (PRV) for $205 million. In November, Scholar Rock entered into a definitive agreement to sell its PRV for $205 million. The closing of the PRV transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including the expiration of the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino (HSR) Antitrust Improvements Act. The cash will further strengthen the Company’s balance sheet with non-dilutive capital. The PRV was awarded following the September 2026 FDA approval of ISEMBYLD.

 

Third Quarter 2026 Financial Results

 

Scholar Rock reported a net loss of $107.2 million, including stock-based compensation of $17.9 million, for the quarter ended September 30, 2026, compared to a net loss of $102.2 million, including stock-based compensation of $18.3 million, for the quarter ended September 30, 2025. Net loss per common share was $0.81 for the quarter ended September 30, 2026, compared to $0.90 per common share for the quarter ended September 30, 2025.

•
The Company recorded net product revenue of $0.6 million from sales of ISEMBYLD in the U.S. for the quarter ended September 30, 2026. The Company did not record any revenue for the quarter ended September 30, 2025.

 

•
Cost of revenue was immaterial for the quarter ended September 30, 2026. Prior to the FDA approval of ISEMBYLD, product costs were expensed as research and development expense. The Company did not record any cost of revenue for the quarter ended September 30, 2025.
•
Research and development expense was $54.1 million, including $6.4 million in stock-based compensation, for the quarter ended September 30, 2026, compared to $50.5 million, including $5.5 million in stock-based compensation, for the quarter ended September 30, 2025.
•
Selling, general and administrative expense was $52.5 million, including $11.5 million in stock-based compensation, for the quarter ended September 30, 2026, compared to $53.1 million, including $12.8 million in stock-based compensation, for the quarter ended September 30, 2025.
•
As of September 30, 2026, Scholar Rock had cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities of $413.6 million.

Forward-Looking Statements © 2026 Scholar Rock, Inc. All rights reserved. This presentation contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including, but not limited to, statements regarding Scholar Rock’s future expectations, plans and prospects, including without limitation, Scholar Rock’s expectations regarding the U.S. commercial launch and commercial performance of ISEMBYLD, including patient and physician demand, launch dynamics, patient enrollment trends, market acceptance, coverage and reimbursement, and the timing of an ISEMBYLD-specific J-code; expectations regarding its growth, strategy, progress and timing of its clinical trials and development programs for apitegromab, including its subcutaneous formulation, the potential characteristics and benefits of such formulation, and its engagement with regulators regarding the development path for such formulation, as well as the ongoing Phase 2 OPAL and FORGE trials, and for SRK-439, including the expected timing of topline data from its Phase 1 clinical trial and the timing of public disclosure of such data, the timing of any regulatory submissions, decisions and anticipated approvals, and the therapeutic potential, clinical benefits and safety of any product candidates; expectations regarding the timing and outcome of EMA review of the resubmitted MAA for apitegromab, including the expected timing of a CHMP opinion in the first half of 2027; expectations regarding the timing and outcome of PMDA review of the JNDA for apitegromab under priority review; expectations regarding the availability and timing of commercial supply of ISEMBYLD and apitegromab, including from Scholar Rock’s alternate fill-finish facility; expectations regarding the closing of the sale of Scholar Rock’s PRV, including the satisfaction of closing conditions, including the expiration of the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act, and the anticipated receipt and use of proceeds therefrom; plans to expand access to ISEMBYLD globally, including in up to 50 countries worldwide, and expectations regarding commercial launch timing in additional jurisdictions (including Europe and Japan), and the achievement of important milestones, the ability of any product candidate to perform in humans in a manner consistent with earlier nonclinical, or clinical data; and the potential of its product candidates and proprietary platform. The use of words such as “may,” “might,” “could,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “project,” “intend,” “future,” “potential,” or “continue,” and other similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. All such forward-looking statements are based on management's current expectations of future events and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially and adversely from those set forth in or implied by such forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, without limitation, whether nonclinical and clinical data, including the results from the Phase 3 SAPPHIRE trial and any results from ongoing or future clinical trials, including the Phase 2 OPAL clinical trial, the Phase 2 FORGE trial and the Phase 1 clinical trial of SRK-439, will be sufficient to support regulatory approval or further development; that nonclinical and clinical data, including the results from the Phase 2 or Phase 3 clinical trial of apitegromab, data from any ongoing or future trials of apitegromab or data for SRK-439, are not predictive of, may be inconsistent with, or more favorable than, data generated from future or ongoing clinical trials of the same product candidates; whether the resubmitted MAA and the JNDA will be sufficient to support regulatory approval of apitegromab in the European Union and Japan, respectively, on the expected timelines or at all; Scholar Rock’s ability to successfully commercialize ISEMBYLD, including achieving market acceptance among patients, physicians and payors and obtaining adequate coverage and reimbursement; whether early patient and physician demand for ISEMBYLD translates into sustained patient treatment and product revenue; Scholar Rock’s ability to obtain regulatory approval for, and to successfully expand access to, ISEMBYLD in additional countries; Scholar Rock’s ability to successfully launch ISEMBYLD in Europe and Japan on the expected timelines, or at all; Scholar Rock’s ability to maintain sufficient commercial supply of ISEMBYLD, including through its alternate fill-finish facility; whether the conditions to the closing of the PRV sale will be satisfied on the expected timeline or at all; Scholar Rock’s need for additional capital and its ability to obtain it on acceptable terms; Scholar Rock’s ability to manage expenses or provide the financial support, resources and expertise necessary to identify and develop product candidates on the expected timeline; information provided or decisions made by regulatory authorities, including regarding the development path for subcutaneous apitegromab; competition from third parties that are developing products for similar uses; Scholar Rock’s ability to obtain, maintain and protect its intellectual property; and Scholar Rock’s dependence on third parties for development and manufacture of apitegromab, ISEMBYLD and other product candidates including, without limitation, to supply commercial demand for ISEMBYLD and any clinical trials as well as those risks more fully discussed in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in Scholar Rock’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2026, as well as discussions of potential risks, uncertainties, and other important factors in Scholar Rock’s subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Any forward-looking statements represent Scholar Rock’s views only as of today and should not be relied upon as representing its views as of any subsequent date.
