Two peptide-based ligand traps have recently received clinical approval: luspatercept [ActRIIB-Fc], an erythroid maturation agent, and sotatercept [ActRIIA-Fc], a novel therapeutic agent for pulmonary arterial hypertension [PAH]. Although both agents have failed to increase skeletal muscle mass in clinical trials consistently, they represent significant advances in the treatment of hematopoietic and vascular disorders. Future studies should focus on optimal dosing strategies, long-term safety, and potential synergistic effects when combined with other therapeutic modalities.

TGFB1 (Transforming Growth Factor Beta 1) • ACVR2A (Activin A Receptor Type 2A) • ACVR2B (Activin A Receptor Type 2B)
Targeting these pathways, including BMPR2 restoration, TGF-β inhibition, and tyrosine kinase blockade, has shown encouraging results beyond the vasodilator-focused standard of care. These innovations may reshape PAH management by improving outcomes, and potentially altering disease progression.
