Sarepta says FDA delays decision on muscle-wasting disorder drug

(Reuters) - Sarepta Therapeutics Inc said the U.S. Food and Drug Administration had delayed a decision on its lead drug for a rare muscle-wasting disorder. The FDA has delayed the decision to May 26 from late February, the company said. The drug is designed to treat a subset of patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy. The agency in late January postponed a meeting of its advisory panel to review Sarepta's drug due to inclement weather forecast for Washington DC.
