Why GMAB stock is up today
Genmab A/S ADR (GMAB) surged 10.73% to $38.48 in the session, driven by positive clinical trial data for its cancer drug candidate in combination with a standard treatment. The stock climbed on news that the drug combination significantly improved progression-free survival in patients with newly diagnosed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. The results from the phase 3 EPCORE DLBCL-2 study were described as the first for a bispecific antibody therapy in this setting.
What Happened
Genmab and AbbVie announced that epcoritamab, when combined with R-CHOP, reduced the risk of disease progression or death by 51% compared to R-CHOP alone. The trial marked a milestone as the first phase 3 study of a bispecific antibody combination therapy to show a statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in progression-free survival for frontline treatment of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. This development has positioned Genmab’s Epkinly as a potential first-line treatment for B-cell lymphoma, boosting investor confidence in the drug’s commercial prospects.
What The Data Shows
The stock has moved up 3.3% over the last eight sessions, from $34.83 to $35.99, and closed at $38.48, above its 52-week high of $35.91. The market cap is $20.3 billion, with a low P/E ratio of 2.7 and a net margin of 19.1%. Recent trading activity included one congressional trade, a buy of $1,001 to $15,000 by Alan Armstrong on March 30. The stock also printed 20 fresh 52-week highs on October 5, indicating strong near-term momentum.
What To Watch
The company is not scheduled to report earnings in the near term. Investors may monitor the breadth of coverage and any further updates on the drug’s regulatory pathway or additional clinical data.
