Key Findings from the Losmapimod Trial

In the Phase 3 REACH trial, losmapimod did not achieve its primary outcome of relative surface area (RSA) improvement compared to placebo at week 48. This disappointing result suggests that current interventions may need re-evaluation.

Future Implications for FSHD Research

With the suspension of losmapimod's development by Fulcrum Therapeutics, researchers must pivot to explore alternative avenues in FSHD treatment.
