Shares of NeurAxis more than doubled after regulators cleared its IB-Stim treatment for pediatric functional abdominal pain related to functional dyspepsia.
The stock briefly touched a record high of $6.20 before settling back around $4.97 in early trading. Shares closed the market at $5.27 this time a year ago.
The medical technology company said before the opening bell that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's 510(k) clearance for IB-Stim in patients aged 8 to 21 marks the first time that the FDA has approved a treatment related to functional dyspepsia.
This is also the second successful expansion of the FDA's indication for IB-Stim after previously getting it approved for abdominal pain associated with irritable bowel syndrome, NeurAxis said.
