Why Cassava Sciences Stock Soared Today
Shares of Cassava Sciences (NASDAQ: SAVA) soared 12.6% on Monday. The solid gain came after the company provided a clinical update on several programs.
With Biogen recently winning U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for Aduhelm in treating Alzheimer's disease, investors are keenly focused on any progress with other programs targeting the disease. Cassava's progress report, which came on a day when the overall stock market delivered a strong performance, was enough to serve as a solid catalyst for the biotech stock.
