Tekmira Pharmaceuticals Corp. Research Reports
Shares of Tekmira Pharmaceuticals Corp. (Tekmira) rallied for the second consecutive day on August 11, 2014, following encouraging news from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on its Ebola candidate, TKM-Ebola. As per Tekmira, it has received a verbal confirmation from the FDA on modification of full clinical hold on TKM-Ebola Investigational New Drug Application (IND) to a partial clinical hold. This move allows the potential use of Tekmira's candidate to treat Ebola infected patients. Commenting on FDA modification, Dr. Mark Murray, CEO and President of Tekmira, said "We are pleased that the FDA has considered the risk-reward of TKM-Ebola for infected patients. We have been closely watching the Ebola virus outbreak and its consequences, and we are willing to assist with any responsible use of TKM-Ebola. The foresight shown by the FDA removes one potential roadblock to doing so." The stock has gained 66.78% in the last two trading sessions and ended the August 11, 2014 session at $23.80.
