Altimmune shares rose 13% in premarket trading following an announcement it would present topline 24-week data from its Phase 2b trial evaluating pemvidutide as a treatment for those with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis.

Shares were trading around $8.73. The stock is up 7% on the year.

The trial enrolled 212 patients with biopsy-confirmed metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis and fibrosis stages F2/F3 with and without diabetes. Patients will receive a total of 48 weeks of treatment, and a final readout is anticipated in the fourth quarter. A call on the trial will be held Thursday at 8:30 a.m. ET.

Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis is a liver disease that develops when fat buildup in the liver causes inflammation.
