Pfizer lays off 75 more workers in North Carolina in wake of late-stage DMD trial fail

Pfizer has told 75 employees in Sanford, North Carolina, that their positions have been eliminated.

The layoffs come three months after the company axed 150 positions in Sanford following a high-profile phase 3 trial failure for its Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) gene therapy candidate. The company said that the new wave of layoffs are related to the DMD trial results.
