The American depositary receipts of Mesoblast were trading higher after hours Wednesday following news the Food and Drug Administration approved its Ryoncil as a treatment of steroid-refractory acute graft-versus-host disease in pediatric patients.
Also on Wednesday, the company said it will be added to the Nasdaq Biotechnology Index, effective Dec. 23.
After the bell, the company's ADRs were trading 22% higher, at $14.98. They ended the day's regular session with a 2% loss, closing at $12.25.
Mesoblast said it develops allogeneic (off-the-shelf) cellular medicines for the treatment of severe and life-threatening inflammatory conditions.
