Addex Therapeutics shares rose 14% to $15.14 in premarket trading Wednesday following the launch of Neurosterix.
The stock has more than doubled on the year.
The clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company, and funds affiliated with Perceptive Advisors, together launched Neurosterix, a company focused on treatments for underserved neurological disorders. Addex said Neurosterix will acquire a portfolio of preclinical assets as well as a technology platform from Addex with initial funding of $63 million from Perceptive Xontogeny Venture Fund II and other participants.
Addex in turn will receive 5 million Swiss francs ($5.5 million) and a 20% stake in Neurosterix.
