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.
After initially refusing to suspend Elevidys distribution after two deaths, Sarepta has now given in to the FDA’s request, noting the need to maintain a good working relationship with the regulator.
