results from its clinical trials for apitegromab, SRK-181, and other product candidates and indication selection and development timing, its cash runway, the ability of any product candidate to perform in humans in a manner consistent with
earlier nonclinical, preclinical or clinical trial data, and the potential of its product candidates and proprietary platform. The use of words such as "may," "could," "might," "will," "should," "expect," "plan," "anticipate," "believe,"

candidates including, without limitation, to supply any clinical trials, Scholar Rock's ability to manage expenses and to obtain additional funding when needed to support its business activities and establish and maintain strategic business
alliances and new business initiatives, and the impacts of current macroeconomic and geopolitical events, including changing conditions from the COVID-19 pandemic, hostilities in Ukraine, increasing rates of inflation and rising interest
rates, on business operations and expectations, 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, 2022, as well as

Deep Insights, Impactful Medicines (scholarrock.com) Apitegromab is an investigational drug candidate being evaluated for the treatment of spinal muscular atrophy. Apitegromab has not been approved for any use by the US FDA or any other
health authority, and its safety and efficacy have not been established. No safety signals for apitegromab were identified to date; the five most frequently reported treatment-emergent adverse events were headache, pyrexia, upper respiratory
tract infection, cough, and nasopharyngitis
Sizable, Sustained Increases in HFMSE Observed Over 24 Months of ApitegromabPooled Non-Ambulatory
Patients Excluding Data Post Scoliosis Surgery (all dose groups) 14 For the 24-month evaluation, an observed case analysis was conducted, which pooled all the non-ambulatory patients (Cohorts 2 and 3) and was based upon the available data
for given timepoints. This analysis population included patients receiving either low dose (2 mg/kg) or high dose (20 mg/kg) apitegromab (inclusive of patients in Cohort 3 who switched from 2 mg/kg to 20 mg/kg in Year 2). This analysis
excludes from the observed case analysis any HFMSE data following scoliosis surgery in TOPAZ. Of the three non-ambulatory patients who had scoliosis surgery, data from one was excluded and the other two did not have valid HFMSE assessments.
