Novocure [NVCR] - Last Close: $13.07 Tiny biotech stock Novocure said its lung cancer device met its main goal in a METIS Phase 3 trial for certain types of lung cancer patients.
Novocure’s Tumor Treating Fields device slowed the spreading of cancer to the brain by creating electrical fields that disrupt cancer cell growth.
NVCR is up 28.7% on over a million shares traded.
My Take: NVCR sounds like it’s on course for an eventual approval. Shares are down by 11.8% over the past 10 days, but this catalyst could help it right the ship.
