Shares of Roivant Sciences were higher after the company released positive results from a phase-two study of its brepocitinib treatment for cutaneous sarcoidosis, a skin disease.

The stock rose 14% to $24.19 in premarket trading after closing Thursday up 94% over the past 52 weeks.

The company said the 45-milligram form of the drug significantly improved cutaneous sarcoidosis disease activity and that all patients receiving the dose achieved a clinically meaningful response.

The drug was well tolerated with no serious adverse events and all adverse events graded mild or moderate in severity.

A phase-three program for cutaneous sarcoidosis will begin this year.
