MeiraGTx Falls 5.5% as MGTX Shares Slip, Investors Keep Watch Next Week
MeiraGTx Holdings plc is under pressure early this week after a late Friday slide knocked back most of its recent gains from pipeline news and funding headlines. The stock closed at $9.40 on Friday, down 5.5% for the day and 4.3% over the last five sessions, market data shows. MeiraGTx is moving from a research-focused story to one centered around regulatory filings. Last week, the company posted first-quarter results, said it received FDA Breakthrough Therapy Designation for AAV2-hAQP1, which could speed talks with regulators on key drugs for hard-to-treat diseases, and said it's advancing bota-vec toward filings in the U.S., Europe, the U.K., and Japan.
