Shares of Vera Therapeutics rose after trial results for its atacicept treatment showed potential to prevent kidney failure in patients with immunoglobulin A nephropathy.

The biotechnology company's stock climbed 14.18% in Monday morning trading. Shares have more than quadrupled year over year.

Brisbane, Calif.-based Vera Therapeutics said Saturday evening the phase 2b trial showed stabilized kidney function through 96 weeks of long-term follow-up in patients with the chronic kidney disease that occurs when the protein IgA builds up in the kidneys.

"The stabilization of kidney function through two years -- the longest duration of data among B cell modulators to date -- positions atacicept as a potential best- and first-in-class treatment option for patients with IgAN," said Chief Executive Marshall Fordyce.

Fordyce said the company plans to announce topline results from the phase 3 trial in the second quarter of 2025, and apply for a biologics license application from the Food and Drug Administration later in the year.
