Avidity: FDA Places Partial Clinical Hold On Participant Enrollment In Phase 1/2 MARINA Trial

(RTTNews) - Avidity Biosciences, Inc. (RNA) announced the FDA has placed a partial clinical hold on new participant enrollment in the phase 1/2 MARINA clinical trial of AOC 1001 in adults with myotonic dystrophy type 1. The partial clinical hold is in response to a serious adverse event reported in a single participant in the 4mg/kg cohort of the MARINA study. The company noted that all participants in MARINA may roll over into the MARINA-open label extension where they will receive AOC 1001 as planned.

Avidity said it remains on track to conduct a preliminary assessment of safety, tolerability and key biomarkers in approximately half of the study participants in the MARINA trial in the fourth quarter of 2022.
