On June 23, Legend Biotech rose 5.44% in regular trading, trading at $29.41/share, with turnover of $36.68 million. The stock gained momentum as multiple positive catalysts converged to boost market sentiment.
On the news front, Legend Biotech recently completed an underwritten public offering of 7.7 million American Depositary Shares priced at $29.35 each, generating gross proceeds of approximately $226 million. The successful pricing and closing of the offering eliminated financing uncertainty overhang on the stock.
Additionally, the company announced early clinical proof-of-concept data for its in vivo CD19/CD20 dual-targeting CAR-T candidate LB2501 in relapsed or refractory B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma. At the higher dose level, a single infusion produced a 100% objective response rate and an 83.3% complete response rate among six patients. The therapy demonstrated dose-dependent CAR-T expansion and a favorable safety profile with no dose-limiting toxicities, serious adverse events, neurotoxicity, or deaths. The combination of secured financing and promising pipeline data supported improved investor confidence.
