Arcturus up on promising COVID-19 vaccine data

Thinly traded micro cap Arcturus Therapeutics (NASDAQ:ARCT) is up 12% premarket on light volume in reaction to positive immunogenicity data from a preclinical study of its COVID-19 vaccine candidate LUNAR-COV19.
According to CSO Pad Chivukula, Ph.D., the company’s STARR mRNA is superior to conventional mRNA at equivalent doses and time points, adding that self-replicating mRNA “significantly” increases spike protein expression, yielding “many-fold” higher seroconversion rates suggesting that the 2 µg dose could potentially immunize millions more people.
