Prana Volume Up on Phase II Trial Updates for Its PBT2 Alzheimer's Candidate
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Australian-listed Prana Biotechnology (ASX:PBT)(NASDAQ:PRAN) gave updates today
on the company's ongoing Phase II trials for lead compound PBT2, a potential
treatment for neurodegenerative diseases Alzheimer's and Huntington's. After a
20% rally yesterday, the stock is giving up some of those gains today and is
down 7% in late morning. Shares are moving this week at ten times normal volume
on the Australian Securities Exchange, and triple average volume on the Nasdaq.
Although too early for definitive results in the studies, Prana's approach,
which targets defects in the metabolism of biological metals, showed promise in
earlier trials and presents investors with an underexposed Alzheimer's play.
