%Biotechs have been absolutely hogging the headlines so far this week, and this afternoon appears to be a greater continuation of this theme. Earlier during Wednesday’s session, it was announced that a San Diego-based micro cap announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Antimicrobial Drugs Advisory Committee voted favorably 14 to 1 that the company, as part of its New Drug Application (NDA), provided sufficient evidence supporting a favorable benefit-risk assessment for a limited use indication for rezafungin for the treatment of candidemia and invasive candidiasis in adult patients with limited or no alternative treatment options, according to the release.
This sent shares of %CidaraTherapeutics () flying on Wednesday, reaching up to $1.24/share (+33.61%) at the session high. It has been a wild month for this stock, so be sure to add this one to the watchlist!
