Terns Pharmaceuticals reported positive data for its drug designed to treat leukemia, sending shares up.
The oncology company said Monday that its treatment TERN-701 showed a 64% major molecular response rate in a Phase 1 trial of patients with chronic myeloid leukemia.
Shares gained 35% to $39.42, at one point hitting an all-time high of $45. The stock has jumped nearly eightfold this year.
The major molecular response rate was 75% over 24 weeks at doses of 320 milligrams and above. That data, along with a strong safety profile, supports selection of 320 milligrams and 500 milligrams as the recommended Phase 2 doses, Terns said.
Study enrollment has also increased, which supports advancing TERN-701 through dose expansion cohorts and the initiation of studies.
