Shares of Roivant rose in premarket trading after the company released positive data from a phase three study of brepocitinib, a drug to treat Dermatomyositis, an autoimmune disease.

The stock was up 3.8% to $14.72 after closing Tuesday up 20% so far this year.

The company said brepocitinib demonstrated a statistically-significant improvement when compared to a placebo on its primary end point and all nine key secondary endpoints.

More than two-thirds of patients experienced at least a moderate response from the drug with almost half experiencing a major response.

The company plans to file a new drug application for the drug in the first half of next year.
