About

About Bimagrumab

Bimagrumab is a human monoclonal antibody that blocks activin type II receptors (ActRII), inhibiting myostatin and related ligands to simultaneously increase muscle mass and reduce fat mass — a unique dual body composition effect. In a Phase II trial of diabetic patients, bimagrumab reduced fat mass by 20.5% and increased lean mass by 3.6% over 48 weeks. It is being studied in combination with semaglutide to preserve muscle during GLP-1-driven weight loss.

Science

Mechanism of Action

Binds and blocks activin type IIA and IIB receptors, preventing myostatin and activin signaling that normally suppresses muscle growth; simultaneously promotes adipose tissue browning and fat oxidation through ActRII-dependent pathways.

Dosing

Typical Protocol

10 mg/kg IV infusion every 4 weeks in clinical trials; subcutaneous formulation under development.

⚠ Protocol information is for educational purposes only. Dosing must be determined by a licensed physician based on individual health status and goals.

Regulatory

Legal Status in 2026

Grey Area

This compound occupies a regulatory grey area in 2026. It is neither explicitly FDA-approved nor clearly illegal for personal use, but it lacks formal clinical approval and may not be legally sold for human use in all contexts. Proceed with caution: source quality is variable, and regulatory status can change. Always consult a physician.

Evidence

Evidence Tier

Clinical Trials

Evidence from randomized controlled trials (RCTs) or large observational studies in humans. This is the gold standard — effects have been measured in controlled conditions and results are peer-reviewed and reproducible.
