Shares of Absci climbed after the drug company said it would begin the next phase of a trial for its treatment of androgenetic alopecia, a common type of hair loss, earlier than previously expected.

The stock rose 17%, to $4.56, and is now up 74% so far this year.

The Vancouver, Wash., company will begin the trial for the treatment, called ABS-201, in early December, and plans to receive an interim efficacy readout in the second half of 2026.

It had previously expected to begin the trial in early 2026.
