Veru's late-stage trial showed its oral COVID-19 treatment reduced deaths.
Shares of Veru Inc. rocketed 15% in premarket trading, after biopharmaceutical company announced positive results from its Phase 3 trial of its oral COVID-19 treatment.
Veru said patients hospitalized with moderate to severe COVID-19, who were at high risk for adult respiratory distress syndrome ARDS and death, its oral sabizabulin led to a "clinically and statistically meaningful" 55% reduction in deaths.
