Insights

FDA places clinical hold on nex‑z Phase 3 after severe liver event.

The FDA verbally placed a clinical hold on the MAGNITUDE and MAGNITUDE‑2 Phase 3 trials of nex‑z on October 29, 2025, with a formal letter expected within 30 days. The trigger was a reported case of Grade 4 liver transaminases with increased total bilirubin in a patient dosed in MAGNITUDE.

Two days prior, on October 27, 2025, the sponsor paused dosing and screening per protocol-defined pausing criteria. A clinical hold typically stops new enrollment and dosing until the FDA’s questions are addressed, which can delay development timelines.

Key near-term item is the FDA’s Clinical Hold Letter within 30 calendar days, which will outline the requirements to lift the hold. Actual impact will depend on the scope of requested actions and the company’s response.
