Deaths Reported After Treatment With Neurocrine’s Prader-Willi Drug
Clinicians raised concerns that several deaths may be linked to Neurocrine Biosciences’ new Prader-Willi treatment. The company said it is working closely with the FDA, patient groups, and prescribers on post-marketing surveillance and noted an elevated risk of swelling in the pivotal trial. Neurocrine terminated the study and is reviewing unblinded data for ARD-101 to decide next steps.
