Shares of Nurix Therapeutics rose after the company reported positive trial data for a potential treatment for a type of blood cancer.
The stock rose 22% to $22.01 on Monday. Shares are up 13% this year.
The biopharmaceutical company said its Bexobrutideg showed an objective response rate of 75%, including three very good partial responses, in heavily pre-treated Waldenström macroglobulinemia patients in a recent trial.
The data demonstrates durable and deepening responses with longer time on treatment, and shows that the drug was well tolerated, consistent with previous disclosures, Chief Medical Officer Paula O'Connor said.
The drug's encouraging efficacy and favorable tolerability support continued development, the company said.
Waldenström macroglobulinemia is a rare cancer that affects white blood cells.
