Shares of Immunitybio rose 9.81 percent on Thursday to finish at $3.47 apiece as investor sentiment was buoyed by news that it sealed a collaboration and supply partnership with multinational oncology firm BeiGene.

The partnership involves the conduct of a confirmatory randomized Phase 3 clinical trial combining BeiGene’s tislelizumab and ImmunityBio's Anktiva, which aims to confirm the efficacy and safety of a combination ANKTIVA plus CPI therapy and provide evidence of the potential for the two immunotherapeutic agents to improve overall survival in patients with advanced or metastatic NSCLC who have acquired resistance to immune CPI therapy.

The primary endpoint of the study is overall survival, with secondary endpoints including disease control rate, progression-free survival, objective response rate, and safety.
