Shares of NextCure rose after the company said preclinical data supported its treatment of osteogenesis imperfecta, commonly called brittle bone disease.
The stock was up 16% to $6.09 on Friday. It is down 34% so far this year.
The Beltsville, Md.-based biopharmaceutical company said preclinical data showed its NC605 antibody treatment achieved improved bone microarchitecture and reduced fractures compared to anti-sclerostin treatment, another treatment for brittle bone disease.
The company said it is looking for financial support to advance NC605 to an investigational new drug submission with the FDA within 12 to 18 months.
