20 Jan
Summary
- FDA meeting yielded productive discussions on ANKTIVA for bladder cancer.
- No new clinical trials required for the supplemental application.
- Piper Sandler raises ImmunityBio price target to $7.00.

ImmunityBio, Inc. (IBRX) experienced a significant premarket stock increase of 19.8% on Tuesday, driven by news of successful discussions with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The meeting focused on the supplemental Biologics License Application for ANKTIVA, a treatment for BCG-unresponsive papillary non-muscle invasive bladder cancer.
The FDA offered specific recommendations during the Type B End-of-Phase meeting, guiding ImmunityBio on resubmitting its application. A key positive outcome was the FDA not requesting any new clinical trials, a move that simplifies and accelerates the regulatory process for the immunotherapy drug.
