Overview
After the European Medicines Agency rejected Elevidys, a gene therapy for Duchenne muscular dystrophy, Roche is launching a new clinical trial to generate further data. This effort aims to address regulatory concerns and support approval efforts in Europe and beyond. Roche, which owns rights to Elevidys outside the U.S., is focusing on rigorous clinical evidence rather than advocacy to overcome the regulatory hurdles and expand treatment options for patients with this rare disease.
