Shares in MeiraGTx rose after the company said it received positive data in a clinical bridging study of AAV-GAD for the treatment of Parkinson's disease.

Shares were up nearly 14% in premarket trading at $4.64, but remain down 34% year to date.

The biotechnology company said the study showed clinically meaningful improvements in key areas at 26 weeks, with the treatment well tolerated by patients and no serious adverse events.

Chief Executive Alexandria Forbes said the results underpin discussions with regulators in the U.S., Europe, and Japan, with the goal of initiating a Phase 3 study for AAV-GAD.
