Shares of Actuate Therapeutics on Tuesday climbed after the company said that it received positive data from its phase 2 trial of elraglusib in combination with gemcitabine/nab-paclitaxel to treat metastatic pancreatic ductal cancer.
The stock was up 12% to $9.73 in pre-market trading.
The clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company said that the trial has shown that the combination of the treatments statistically increases in one-year the survival rate and median overall survival when compared to taking gemcitabine/nab-paclitaxel alone.
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma is the common type of this lethal disease, with an average five-year survival rate of less than 10%, according to the National Institutes of Health.
