After the FDA request, Cambridge, Massachusetts-based Sarepta said in a statement that it will continue to ship the therapy to ambulatory people but maintain a halt it implemented June 15 for non-ambulatory patients after reporting to the FDA a case of acute liver failure in a patient who could not walk.
Roche Holding AG has temporarily halted shipments of the gene therapy Elevidys in some countries outside the U.S. following a similar move by U.S. partner Sarepta Therapeutics. The decision comes after the FDA requested a pause following the death of a patient undergoing the treatment.
