Shares of Sarepta Therapeutics advanced after the company said it has received the go-ahead from U.K. regulators to keep dosing in a study of its Elevidys treatment for Duchenne muscular dystrophy.
The stock was up 6.3% at $42.52 in early trading. Shares are still down 65% since the start of the year.
The gene-therapy developer said Wednesday that it had gotten feedback from Britain's Medicine and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency that would allow dosing for the study to continue uninterrupted.
The Phase 3 study is global, randomized, double-blind and placebo-controlled, and examines the Elevidys treatment in non-ambulatory and older ambulatory individuals with Duchenne muscular dystrophy.
