VCEL - Why Vericel Tumbled by Nearly 15% on Tuesday
Tuesday was not a good day to be a Vericel (NASDAQ: VCEL) investor. Discouraging news from a top regulator put investors in sell-off mode, with the stock falling by 14.8% on the day.
In what must have been a painful admission, Vericel announced Tuesday morning that the biotech 's development partner MediWound received what amounts to a rejection letter from the FDA. Formally speaking, this was a complete response letter from the regulator, in which it said it could not approve the biologics license application (BLA) for the two companies' NexoBrid in the BLA's current form.
