Get Started

By Michael Dabaie

Precigen Inc. shares were up 12% to $2.55 in premarket trade Monday after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration granted fast track designation for PRGN-3006 UltraCAR-T in acute myeloid leukemia.

The company said it was granted the designation for PRGN-3006 UltraCAR-T in patients with relapsed or refractory AML. Precigen said AML is among the most common types of leukemia in adults. AML is a cancer that starts in the bone marrow, but most often moves into the blood.

FDA previously granted PRGN-3006 orphan drug designation.
