The purchase came one day after ARS Pharmaceuticals stock plunged on news that the Food and Drug Administration will delay the firm’s new drug application, or NDA, for its epinephrine nasal spray allergy treatment upon the assessment of its physiological and concentration effects from repeat doses versus repeated doses of an injectable epinephrine. The announcement was a “startling rejection,” Barron’s wrote. ARS Pharmaceuticals stock has lost more than half of its value so far this year.
