I am Managing Editor, US Commercial News, for the Citeline Commercial publication Scrip. Views expressed here are strictly my own.
The media is not equating Elevidys in DMD with SRP-9004 for LGMD as $SRPT suggests. We all realize these two gene therapies have differences, but the fact remains that they use the same AAV vector & that vector is what is linked to patient deaths. We are not confused about that.

Confirmed: FDA is investigating Elevidys and asking $SRPT to stop shipping the gene therapy.
