MYOS Corporation Initiates Clinical Study on Fortetropin(R) Dose Response

Quantifying Standard and Minimal Effective Dose Will Expand Formulation Opportunities for Fortetropin(R); Clinical Study Will Be Conducted by Jacob Wilson, Ph.D, CSCS*D, Professor of Health Sciences and Human Performance at the University of Tampa

CEDAR KNOLLS, NJ--(Marketwired - May 11, 2015) - MYOS Corporation ("MYOS" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: MYOS), an emerging biotherapeutics and bionutrition company focused on the discovery, development and commercialization of products that improve human muscle health and performance, announced today the initiation of a dose response clinical study of Fortetropin® in modestly resistance trained subjects. The study, led by, Jacob Wilson, Ph.D, CSCS*D, Professor of Health Sciences and Human Performance at the University of Tampa, will examine the effects of Fortetropin® supplementation on plasma myostatin levels at various dosing levels. The clinical study will help better define the dose response curve, the minimal effective dose and effects of Fortetropin® on serum myostatin.

In this double blind placebo controlled clinical study, 80 subjects will be randomized to four groups who will be supplemented with three different doses of Fortetropin® and a matching placebo. The study will examine the effect of various doses of Fortetropin® on plasma levels of myostatin and compare them to placebo.

Robert Ashton, M.D., Chief Medical Officer of MYOS, commented, "This study continues to build upon our current knowledge of Fortetropin®, a natural myostatin modulator that has been proven to enhance muscle growth. It is our hypothesis that lowering dosing levels will allow Fortetropin® to be formulated into new products and modes of delivery."

Dr. Wilson commented, "Our team is very excited to continue studying Fortetropin® in our human performance laboratory."
