Shares of Arcturus Therapeutics on Tuesday jumped after the company said it saw positive observations in the phase 1 study for its cystic fibrosis treatment candidate ARCT-032.

The stock was up 23% to $37.40 in recent trading. Shares have risen 37% over the past 12 months.

The late-stage clinical messenger RNA medicines and vaccines company said that the treatments for the first four patients were generally safe and well tolerated, without serious adverse events.

"Furthermore, we observed an encouraging trend towards lung function improvements in the first four cystic fibrosis participants after only two inhaled administrations," Chief Executive Joseph Payne said.

Arcturus will present this new Phase 1b interim data at the June 7 European cystic fibrosis conference in Scotland.
