A California-based %Biotech company is finding early success on Tuesday after the company announced positive preliminary data of Vebreltinib in patients with non-CNS met fusion solid tumors from the company’s phase 2 Sparta trial.

While the announcement it self was pretty technical in nature, the important thing is that traders viewed the results as a very positive event, with shares of %Apollomics Inc. (NASDAQ:APLM) opening the session at $0.284/share (+79.47%). It should be an exciting session for this micro cap!
