CytomX Therapeutics Inc. (CTMX) shares were up 9% to $12.03 in heavier-than-average volume Tuesday.

The clinical-stage oncology-focused biopharmaceutical company said its partner AbbVie (ABBV) selected a second target under the companies' 2016 agreement to discover and develop Probody drug conjugates.

The target selection triggers a $10 million payment to CytomX from AbbVie. The companies are also advancing clinical-stage asset CX-2029 under a global co-development and licensing agreement, CytomX said.
