The FDA has placed a clinical hold on Regenxbio's RGX-121 gene therapy for Hunter syndrome following discovery of small nodules or cystic masses in treated patients' spine MRIs, delaying Regenxbio’s plans to resubmit for approval. Regenxbio will conduct longer-term studies and data analysis before reassessing the gene therapy's benefit-risk profile.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Biotech, and 4 sources have reported it.

◆ The Wire takeaway

Your rare disease gene therapy just hit a major regulatory roadblock that leaves the patient population off-limits for now. This is the moment to pivot away from Hunter syndrome and lean into other programmes with clearer paths to approval.
