On January 3, 2023, Vera issued a press release announcing what it characterized as "positive topline results" in its Phase 2b ORIGIN clinical trial of atacicept for the treatment of immunoglobulin A nephropathy. Although Vera's product candidate met its primary endpoint, analysts noted that the Phase 2b data would need to be replicated in a pivotal trial in order to secure regulatory approval and that other competing drugs in development might be more effective than atacicept. Accordingly, following the release of the Phase 2b data, Wedbush downgraded Vera to neutral from outperform.
On this news, Vera's stock price fell $11.84 per share, or 64.7%, to close at $6.46 per share on January 4, 2023.
