Rocket Pharmaceuticals Stock Surges 34% on FDA Alignment for Danon Disease Treatment
By Sabela Ojea
Shares of Rocket Pharmaceuticals surged 34% to $20.46 in post-market trading on Tuesday after the company said it reached alignment with the Food and Drug Administration regarding its Phase 2 trial for the treatment of Danon disease.
The Cranbury, N.J.-based pharmaceutical company said its study would evaluate the use of the investigational gene therapy RP-A501 to treat 12 patients with Danon disease.
Danon is a rare genetic disorder that has no cure, and is known for weakening the heart and movement muscles, as well as intellectual disability.
The trial will support accelerated approval of Rocket's treatment by the FDA.
