Aquestive Therapeutics Shares Rise 12% on Anaphylm Trial Timeline

By Denny Jacob

 

Aquestive Therapeutics shares rose 12% to $1.72 on news it expects to continue starting its clinical trial of oral epinephrine product candidate anaphylm in the fourth quarter.

The stock is up 91% on the year so far through Wednesday's trading session.

The pharmaceutical company said it intends to commence the trial in the fourth quarter following alignment with the Food and Drug Administration. It noted its current development plan continues to include a standard repeat-dose study of anaphylm and an already-approved comparator.

Chief Executive Daniel Barber said Aquestive is focused on the work necessary to reach its goal of filing its new drug application in 2024. He added that anaphylm has demonstrated clinical results comparable to other known autoinjectors such as the EpiPen and Auvi-Q for the emergency treatment of severe allergic reactions including anaphylaxis.
