Caribou Biosciences Shares Rise 4.1% as FDA Approves Lymphoma Trial

By Ben Glickman

 

Shares of Caribou Biosciences rose after the company's lymphoma trial design was approved by the Food and Drug Administration.

The stock was up 4.1% to $5.88 in after-hours trading following a 1.9% drop at Tuesday's close. Shares are down 10% this year.

The Berkeley, Calif.-based gene-editing pharmaceutical company said it had received feedback from the FDA on its Phase 3 trial for CB-010, a treatment for large B cell lymphoma.

The company plans to initiate its Phase 3 trial by the end of 2024.

The trial design includes platinum-based immunochemotherapy, followed by high-dose chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplantation.

Chief Executive Rachel Haurwitz said the FDA feedback was "an important step in advancing our lead therapy."
