The U.S. Food and Drug Administration said on Monday it is recommending the removal of the hold placed on Sarepta Therapeutics' gene therapy Elevidys for patients with a rare muscular disorder who can walk.

On Monday, the FDA said Sarepta may resume treating ambulatory Duchenne patients with Elevidys. The recommendation comes just 10 days after the agency requested that the company halt all shipments of the one-time treatment following reports of three deaths among patients who had received a Sarepta gene therapy, including two on Elevidys.

The company can again ship the Duchenne gene therapy for patients who can still walk, following a one-week pause triggered by safety concerns.
