Shares in Ark Therapeutics are on the rise after the drug developer said the Marketing Authorisation Application (MAA) for Cerepro, its novel gene-based therapy for operable malignant, has cleared the validation stage.
The Cerepro MAA application now commences formal review.
"The acceptance of the Cerepro submission is a further significant milestone for Ark," said chief executive Nigel Parker.
Electronic component maker e2v Technologies is also going well on news that the group has won two contract renewals worth a total of £17m with delivery extending up to three years.
Both contracts are with existing Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) customers, and are for products from e2v's electron device and sub-systems division for use within radiotherapy cancer treatment systems.
“These anticipated multi-year contract renewals reflect the ongoing demand for new systems, as well as the need to service the growing number of in-service systems, and reinforces our position as a strategic supplier into the global radiotherapy equipment market,” said chief executive Keith Attwood.
