Traws Pharma shares surged 83% after the company disclosed progress in the development of tivoxavir marboxil as a treatment for HSN1 bird flu.
Shares jumped to $9.16. The stock is down 73% on the year.
The clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company said current topline data from a Phase 1 trial showed that a single dose of the treatment maintained plasma drug levels consistently above EC(90) for more than 23 days with higher dose dating coming.
"This result is highly encouraging for future clinical development of tivoxavir marboxil for treating human H5N1 influenza," said Chief Science Officer C. David Pauza.
Bird flu is once again an issue to watch. California last week declared a state of emergency due to an increased number of H5N1 bird flu cases that have been detected in the state's dairy cows.
