Arrowhead Pharmaceuticals (ARWR) saw its stock price surge 5.08% during intraday trading on Monday, following the U.S. FDA approval of its first siRNA medicine, REDEMPLO (plozasiran), for treating familial chylomicronemia syndrome (FCS).
The approval marks a significant milestone for Arrowhead, transitioning it into a commercial-stage company. REDEMPLO, which can be self-administered quarterly at home, opens new revenue opportunities and diversifies the company's business model away from reliance on partnership deals.
This development has been a key catalyst for investor optimism, as highlighted by recent analyst ratings and the stock's upward momentum.
