Et eksempel på kursstigning etter ‘Endpoint Met’ i Fase 2 fra NASDAQ idag:
Viking Therapeutics (NASDAQ: VKTX ) stock is rocketing higher on Tuesday after the clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company announced positive clinical trial results.
These results come from its Phase 2 VENTURE study of VK2735. This is a dual agonist of the glucagon-like peptide and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide receptors in development as a weight loss drug.
The big news that has VKTX stockholders celebrating today is the Phase 2 trial meeting its primary endpoint. It also achieved all of its secondary endpoints while maintaining only mild or moderate treatment emergent adverse events.
Viking Therapeutics notes that this saw patients experience a 14.7% reduction in body weight compared to baseline. Those taking the drug also saw a 13% reduction in body weight compared to those on a placebo.
Opp 125% per skrivende stund idag. Pent, men så er jo ikke dette Oslo Børs. Likevel, bør være et varsel om noe godt om vi når endepunktet i INITIUM - selv om slankemedisin og kreftmedisin er rimelig forskjellige ting.
Edit; @Roc you beat me to it, men jeg lar det stå, jeg!
