US clinical-stage biotech AzurRx BioPharma (Nasdaq: AZRX) saw its shares rocket almost 32% to $0.69 yesterday, after it reported some positive mid-stage trials results for its cystic fibrosis candidate MS1819.

AzurRx announced positive top-line results from its Phase II combination trial evaluating MS1819 in combination with the current standard of care, porcine-derived pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy (PERT), for the treatment of severe exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI) in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF).
