Why Moderna Stock Surged Today
Shares of Moderna (NASDAQ: MRNA) jumped 7% on Monday after the biotech released positive data from a key clinical trial for its COVID-19 vaccine, mRNA-1273.
Moderna said interim data from a phase 2/3 study suggested its vaccine demonstrated "a robust neutralizing antibody response" in kids aged 6 to 11 after two 50-microgram doses. Critically, the drug also demonstrated "a favorable safety profile."
The drugmaker intends to submit the trial data to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and European Medicines Agency (EMA) "in the near term."
