Adial Pharmaceuticals shares were up 78% at $2.01 after the company provided promising clinical results, strong safety profile and high compliance among patients administered AD04, or low-dose ondansetron.
The stock hit its 52-week low of 77 cents on Feb. 23, and is down 73% in the past 12 months.
AD04 is the company's lead investigational new drug product, being developed for the treatment of alcohol use disorder.
The biopharmaceutical company said the study provided a comprehensive analysis of the liver safety profile of AD04 compared to a placebo in individuals with AUD and a specific 5-marker genetic profile.
According to the study, low-dose AD04 didn't significantly change biochemical markers of liver injury. No significant adverse effects were observed due to oral low-dose AD04 treatment.
