Novocure shares jumped 26% in premarket trading following trial results of a therapy for pancreatic cancer.

Shares were trading around $25.22. The stock is up 34% on the year.

The oncology company and Zai Lab, a biopharmaceutical company, said a Phase 3 trial met its primary endpoint and demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in medical overall survival versus a control. The trial evaluated the use of tumor treating fields therapy concomitantly with gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel as a treatment for unresectable, locally advanced pancreatic adenocarcinoma.

Novocure said it plans to file for regulatory approval of the treatment and plans to submit the trial results for presentation at an upcoming medical congress. Zai Lab plans to file for regulatory approval in China.
