Kiromic BioPharma (NASDAQ:KRBP) stock is rocketing higher on Tuesday after the company announced a new sponsored research agreement.

This agreement has Kiromic teaming up with Principal Investigator James Welsh, M.D. of The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center. The SRA will see the company producing preclinical data from its GDT allogeneic therapies.

Kiromic BioPharma notes that it expects the SRA to result in efficacy and patient safety that it can use in future filings with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). It plans to use this information to submit three new investigational drug (IND) applications to the agency.

Kiromic BioPharma is a clinical-stage biotherapeutics company with two GDT allogeneic therapies currently in development. With this new SRA, the company will increase the candidates in its development pipeline to five.

CEO Pietro Bersani said the following in a press release, helping boost KRBP stock higher today.

“The first of these three new IND submissions – the Deltacel™ – is expected to be submitted during the second half of the year […] Importantly, we expect to begin the activation of the Deltacel clinical trial by the end of this year.”
