Results from a clinical trial of its drug in the 'fatty liver' disease NASH sent $AKRO's stock soaring

Encouraging data on a South San Francisco company's drug targeting the fatty liver disease NASH pushed its stock 120% higher in early trading Tuesday.

Most side effects — diarrhea, nausea, increased appetite and frequent bowel movements — were transient, the company said. EFX, formerly known as AKR-001, is Akero's lead product candidate, designed not only to reduce liver fat and inflammation but to reduce fibrosis. It is injected once a week into a layer of skin.
