A US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) advisory committee meeting (AdCom) has voted against Capricor Therapeutics' cell therapy for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), capping an extraordinary meeting in which the agency and biotech fundamentally disagreed on how key study data was analysed. In a meeting which saw a buildup dominated by disagreements over the FDA's briefing document, committee members voted 9-3 against recommending approval of Capricor's deramiocel.
