The biotech firm reported revenue of $38.2 million, which dramatically exceeded the analyst consensus estimate of $9.12 million. Furthermore, the company's net loss narrowed to $26.1 million, beating the estimated loss of $61.1 million. Earnings per share came in at a loss of $0.13, surpassing the estimated loss of $0.33.
