The clinical hold was enforced in November 2019 after a severe adverse event was reported in a child administered with the treatment.
Solid Biosciences have now provided the FDA with updated safety and functional efficacy data for all patients in the IGNITE DMD trial with no additional adverse events.
The news has sent Solid’s share price surging higher. It is currently up 132% premarket at $4.78 per share after Wednesdays close at $2.03.
