Under this partial clinical hold, new patients may not be enrolled in the study until the Company provides the FDA with required additional information and the FDA notifies the Company that it may re-initiate the study based on its review of the submitted information. The FDA requested the Company provide additional data and analysis on patients in the study and a proposed protocol amendment to mitigate toxicity risk. In the coming weeks, the Company expects to respond to the FDA’s requests for additional information and also expects to submit an amendment to the current protocol.
