Pfizer to re-start its global Phase 3 Trial of Investigational Gene Therapy for Ambulatory Patients with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy

5 May 2022 by Lynnette

 Pfizer has announced on 28 April 2022 they have received approvals to re-start the Phase 3 study evaluating their gene therapy for Duchenne muscular dystrophy in several countries, including the UK, and that the clinical hold in the US has been lifted by the FDA.

Following the lift of the clinical hold, Pfizer is now proceeding with the study in the UK, and working to activate trial sites to begin recruitment, screening, and enrolment in their Phase 3 ambulatory trial (CIFFREO) for the first time. 

Coinciding with the press statement, Pfizer has produced a letter to the community.

I was introduced to Action Duchenne by the Muscle Team in Newcastle shortly after Oliver’s diagnosis in 2017. In those early, overwhelming days, their support meant everything. Members of the Support Team would call just to let me talk, vent, cry — whatever I needed. They were simply there, and that’s why I choose to support them every …
