3月31日周一,疫苗制造商Moderna(MRNA)股价在盘前交易中大跌14.2%,至26.9美元。这一显著跌幅主要源于美国食品和药物管理局(FDA)高级疫苗官员彼得·马克斯(Peter Marks)即将离职的报道。
据《华尔街日报》等媒体报道,马克斯将于4月5日离职。作为FDA生物制品评估与研究中心主任,马克斯在新冠疫苗开发过程中发挥了关键作用,并一直支持加快罕见病治疗和基因疗法的开发。他的离职引发了市场对突破性疗法审查速度可能放缓的担忧。有报道称,卫生与公众服务部(HHS)官员让马克斯选择辞职或被解雇,这一消息进一步加剧了市场的不安情绪。
马克斯的潜在离职不仅影响了Moderna,整个生物技术行业也受到波及。多家基因疗法生产商的股价在盘前交易中下跌4%至10%。分析师认为,这次人事变动可能会给正在或计划接受FDA审查的公司带来压力。对于Moderna而言,作为主要的疫苗制造商,公司股价在过去12个月中已下跌71%,此次消息无疑给其股价带来了新的打击。投资者将密切关注这一人事变动对疫苗审批和生物技术行业整体发展的潜在影响。
