Absci is trading at $9.38, up 16.60%, after interim Phase I/II data for ABS-201 showed no serious adverse events.

  • September 16 Morgan Stanley conference commentary highlighted ABS-201, its AI-designed hair-loss drug.
  • Data from 32 volunteers showed an estimated half-life of at least 65 days.
  • The move is substantial relative to recent closes and appears primarily company-driven, though biotechnology strength, risk-on markets, and unavailable volume may also matter.
