The drug displayed promising anti-tumor activity in some patients, according to the company. “We are now focused on finalizing the recommended Phase 2 dose and planning for the expansion of our clinical efforts with ARQ 531 into later stage trials across multiple indications as a single agent and as a combination therapy,” said ArQule Chief Medical Officer Brian Schwartz in a statement.

ARQL stock is soaring a whopping 32.6% following the company’s news on Friday. This helped push the company’s per share price to a 12-year high of $8.34.
