Patients currently enrolled in the Phase 1 study who are deriving clinical benefit may continue to receive treatment in accordance with the ongoing study protocol; however, no additional patients may be enrolled until the partial clinical hold is resolved.
The partial clinical hold follows the Company’s communication to the FDA of its intention to transition to an improved manufacturing process. The Company’s other drug programs are not affected by the NX-2127 manufacturing process improvement.
