Regenxbio Inc. is facing a regulatory setback after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) placed clinical holds on its investigational gene therapies RGX-111 and RGX-121, which target the ultra-rare conditions MPS I (Hurler syndrome) and MPS II (Hunter Syndrome), respectively. The action follows the preliminary discovery of a neoplasm in a participant who received RGX-111, with genetic analysis revealing an AAV vector genome integration linked to proto-oncogene overexpression. While the investigation into the drug's role in this event is ongoing and causality has not been established, the FDA extended the hold to RGX-121 due to similarities in the therapies and patient populations. Regenxbio has not yet received the full clinical hold letter and is awaiting further details from the FDA.
