Prothena Corp PLC (PRTA) shares surged 6.1% in pre-market trading on Friday, following the release of the company's fourth-quarter 2024 earnings report. The biotech firm's strong financial position and promising pipeline updates fueled investor optimism, propelling the stock higher.
In its earnings release, Prothena highlighted several positive developments that are likely driving the stock's upward momentum. Key among these is the potential 2026 launch of Fortamumab, the company's lead candidate for AL amyloidosis, a rare and fatal disease. Fortamumab has demonstrated early survival benefits in clinical trials, setting the stage for a transformational year ahead.
Additionally, Prothena's Alzheimer's disease portfolio, including the novel candidates PRX-12 and PRX-123, garnered attention as the company moves closer to significant clinical milestones. Investors are optimistic about the potential of these therapies, particularly PRX-12, which is designed for convenient at-home administration, potentially improving treatment access for Alzheimer's patients.
