Biotech company Mersana Therapeutics said the Food and Drug Administration lifted a clinical hold on a Phase 1 trial of one of its cancer-treatment candidates.

In March, Mersana said the Food and Drug Administration had issued a clinical hold on the early-stage trial of the gastric-cancer drug candidate because of serious adverse effects.

Based on a review of data, Mersana lowered the starting dose in the Phase 1 dose escalation design, the company said.

In July, Mersana Therapeutics launched a broad restructuring following the failure of its lead product candidate in a late-stage study.
