NKGen Biotech shares were up 8% to $3.25 after the company said
the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has cleared its
investigational new drug application for SNK01 natural killer cell
therapy for treatment of moderate Alzheimer's disease.
The stock hit its 52-week low of $2.86 on Oct. 13, and is down
67% in the past 12 months.
SNK01 is an autologous, non-genetically modified NK cell product
that has enhanced cytotoxicity and activating receptor
expression.
The company said this approved trial of 30 patients with
moderate Alzheimer's will hopefully begin before the end of this
year, and the first interim data is expected in early third quarter
of 2024.
