Sarepta's Duchenne Therapy Sparked Fears Even Before FDA's Order

By , Gerry Smith, and Rachel Cohrs Zhang Save There were warnings to the FDA about Sarepta Therapeutics Inc. before US regulators asked the company to halt shipments of its gene therapy.

That's according to a document from the agency dated July 10, which first began circulating on Chinese social media on Tuesday morning, and which people familiar with the matter later confirmed as authentic to Bloomberg News. The people declined to be named discussing a sensitive matter.
