ImmunityBio stock pops on ANKTIVA lung cancer data; what IBRX investors watch next
ImmunityBio shares rose 6.4% to $2.76 Tuesday after reporting new lung cancer trial data for its drug ANKTIVA. The company said ANKTIVA combined with checkpoint inhibitors restored immune-cell levels in two studies, with one showing longer median survival for patients with higher lymphocyte counts. A Phase 3 trial comparing ANKTIVA to docetaxel is ongoing. Fuller results are pending peer review.
