Sarepta Therapeutics (NASDAQ:SRPT) faces an “arduous and treacherous path” to bring its gene therapy Elevidys back to market, according to a STAT report citing a senior FDA official, suggesting the treatment’s license could be revoked amid ongoing safety concerns.

Sarepta faces FDA scrutiny over Elevidys as analysts downgrade stock and warn of long-term debt risks amid market uncertainty.

The Sarepta saga continues, with the FDA slapping a clinical hold across all of the company’s investigational limb girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD) trials, while also revoking the biopharma’s gene therapy platform technology designation.

Sarepta stock has tanked. Most investors don’t see the drugmaker’s executive management as credible following the failure to disclose a patient death, a BMO survey suggests.

Kostas Biliouris, BMO Capital Markets biotech analyst, joins CNBC's 'Squawk on the Street' to discuss the latest details on Sarepta after the company declined the FDA's request to halt shipments of its gene therapy.
