Why Are Biohaven Shares Trading Lower On Monday?

Initial safety data were consistent with the overall profile of verdiperstat from prior clinical trial experience.
Additional analyses are still pending, and full study results will be presented at an upcoming scientific meeting.
An ongoing amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) trial of verdiperstat is conducted with the Sean M. Healey & AMG Center at Massachusetts General Hospital. Enrollment will be completed in Q4 of 2021.
