Celcuity Inc. (NASDAQ:CELC) shares are up during Monday’s premarket session following positive news about its Phase 3 VIKTORIA-1 trial results.

The stock’s movement is buoyed by the announcement that the trial achieved its primary endpoint, which is expected to bolster the company’s position in the oncology market as it prepares to submit data to the FDA for further regulatory approval.

The news is contributing to the stock’s surge as investors react positively to the potential for new treatment options in breast cancer, particularly for HR+/HER2- patients, while broader markets faced declines on Friday.

Celcuity Trial Shows Progression-Free Survival Improvement

The clinical-stage biotechnology focused on multiple solid tumors on Friday reported that its Phase 3 VIKTORIA-1 trial demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in progression-free survival (PFS) for patients treated with gedatolisib compared to standard therapies.

The trial covered patients with hormone receptor-positive (HR+), human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 negative (HER2-), PIK3CA mutant locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer, following progression on or after treatment with a CDK4/6 inhibitor and an aromatase inhibitor.

The company plans to submit these findings to the FDA as part of a supplemental New Drug Application, with a goal date set for July 17, 2026.

In January, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) accepted Celcuity’s New Drug Application and granted Priority Review for gedatolisib in HR+/HER2-/PIK3CA wild-type advanced breast cancer.

The secondary endpoint comparing gedatolisib plus fulvestrant (the gedatolisib doublet) versus alpelisib plus fulvestrant, which was not part of the primary efficacy analysis in the hierarchical order, also demonstrated a statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in PFS compared to alpelisib and fulvestrant.
