Immutep's American depositary receipts jumped after the company reported positive data from a trial evaluating its drug Efti in combination with Merck's therapy Keytruda for treating non-small cell lung cancer.

The stock was up 12% at $2.10 in premarket trading. Shares had fallen 22% year-to-date when the market closed Wednesday.

The biotechnology company said before the bell that mature survival data for patients treated with the combination were well above historical controls and exceeded expectations.

"We are encouraged to see Efti build upon the historical clinical outcomes from the most widely used immunotherapy-chemo combination today," Chief Executive Marc Voigt said.

Early evaluations of an expanded cohort of trial patients are also tracking well, Voigt said.
