Shares of Invivyd were higher after the company said the Food and Drug Administration cleared its investigational new drug application, as well as provided feedback to advance its drug that aims to prevent Covid.
The stock rose 13% to $1.31 in premarket trading Monday. Through Friday's close, shares have more than doubled so far this year.
Invivyd is developing VYD2311, a vaccine-alternative antibody to prevent Covid. The program will undergo testing, with separate studies set to compare the safety and efficacy of VYD2311 with placebo, as well as place VYD2311 in a head-to-head trial against an mRNA-based Covid vaccine.
The company said it intends to initiate these clinical trials as soon as practicable, aiming for the trails to start before the end of the year, with top-line data by mid-2026.
"We are moving as fast as possible to bring Americans a new choice in protection from Covid," Chairman Marc Elia said.
