“BioMarin Pharmaceutical is a biotechnology company that develops and commercializes therapies for individuals with serious lifethreatening rare diseases and medical conditions. The firm saw its shares decline after receiving a complete response letter from the U.S Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for its gene therapy treatment for severe hemophilia A. The FDA is requesting two-year follow-up data that will not be available until the second half of 2021. This caught investors off guard as the treatment was widely expected to be approved for a U.S. launch before the end of 2020.”
