On June 1, Amgen fell 3.02% in regular trading, trading at $326.35/share, with trading volume of $171 million.

On the news front, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has proposed revoking market approval for Amgen's rare disease drug avacopan capsules (marketed as Tofernity) due to liver injury-related death cases. The regulatory action represents a significant setback for the company's rare disease portfolio. Amgen China responded that although the drug received approval from China's NMPA in November 2024, it has not yet been commercially launched domestically and no patients in China have received treatment with the medication.

Within the Biotechnology sector, individual stocks showed mixed performance. BridgeBio Pharma fell 0.15%, AbbVie declined 2.31%, and Summit Therapeutics dropped 5.59%, while Revolution Medicines rose 2.08% and Hyperliquid Strategies gained 9.46%.
