Elevidys, which was granted accelerated approval in 2023 for Duchenne muscular dystrophy, has remained on the market under post-approval study requirements.Bloomberg also reported that the latest death resulted in an unusually tense exchange between analysts and Sarepta executives on a Friday call.

On Friday, two of the analysts asked executives whether the company was keeping any other fatalities undisclosed.“We are historically a very transparent organization,” said Sarepta CEO Douglas Ingram, according to the report, adding that the company didn’t disclose the third patient death earlier because “it was neither material nor central” to what was being discussed.&nbsp;Sarepta’s stock is down 88% year-to-date and nearly 90% over the past 12 months.Get updates to this developing story directly on Stocktwits.Read also:&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/grubhub-owner-wonder-reportedly-in-talks-for-500-m-debt-refinancing/ch8kHoKR5qp">Grubhub Owner Wonder Reportedly In Talks For $500M Debt Refinancing</a>For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.
