THE FDA HAS imposed a clinical hold on a Phase Ib trial assessing Pfizer’s mini-dystrophin gene therapy candidate PF-06939926 in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), after the company acknowledged the death of a young male participant in the openlabel C3391001 study. The patient participated in the nonambulatory cohort of the trial (NCT03362502), a first-in-human/first-in-patient, multicenter, nonrandomized, ascending dose, safety, and tolerability study. The study was designed to assess a single intravenous infusion of PF-06939926 in ambulatory and nonambulatory subjects with DMD.‘‘On behalf of everyone at Pfizer, we extend our sympathies to his family, friends and those closest to his care,’’Pfizer stated.‘‘At this time, we do not yet have complete information and are actively working with the trial site investigator to understand what happened.’’1 Screening and dosing in the trial has been paused while Pfizer reviews data with the study’s independent External Data Monitoring Committee.
