The share price of Kite Pharma (Nasdaq: KITE) shot up by more than 9% on Tuesday after the US oncology biopharma specialist announced positive top-line data in a trial of its KTE-C19 candidate in non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL).

In a pre-planned interim analysis of the ZUMA-1 trial, KTE-C19, which is the company’s lead product candidate, met the primary endpoint of objective response rate (ORR).

ZUMA-1 enrolled patients with chemo-refractory aggressive NHL into two cohorts. Cohort 1 included patients with chemo-refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL).
