Shares of Dianthus Therapeutics rose after the company reached an early decision to move ahead with its phase 3 trial for Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy, an autoimmune disorder.
The stock jumped 23% to $80.01 in premarket trading after more than doubling over the past 12 months through Friday's close.
The company said it reached the decision after achieving a greater than 50% response rate for part A of the trial. The company will provide part B top-line guidance by the end of the year.
Dianthus also said its phase three Generalized Myasthenia Gravis trial will begin in the middle of this year, with top-line results expected in the second half of 2028.
