The major cause of outperformance was ARNA reporting positive top-line mid-stage Phase 2 trial results for Ralinepag. This treatment is for patients with Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension. This is significant for two reasons. Firstly, whenever any biopharmaceutical company announces positive clinical trial data and results, this is a major bullish indicator for the company since it hints at a potential tailwind of profitability if the clinical trials keep going positively. Secondly, Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension is a type of high blood pressure that occurs in the right side of your heart and in the arteries that supply blood to your lungs. This condition is a rare disease for which there is presently no cure. Therefore, should ARNA be successful in bringing this drug to market, it will have a monopoly on this treatment.
