- Cause of Hold: The hold was originally placed due to a Grade 3 serious adverse event in one patient, which was being evaluated as a possible new malignancy and considered possibly related to ACTR707.
- Resolution: The FDA determined that the hold could be lifted after reviewing Unum's response to their inquiry.
