Why Iovance Biotherapeutics Stock Is Marching Higher Today
On a brutal day for biotech stocks, Iovance Biotherapeutics (NASDAQ: IOVA) is defying the broader trend across the space. Meanwhile, the iShares Biotechnology ETF was down by 1.6%, and the SPDR S&P Biotech ETF was in the red by 2.63% at the same point in today's trading session. While its financial results are largely immaterial at this point in its lifecycle, the company did note that it is making progress toward the possible commercial debut of lifileucel, a polyclonal tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte (TIL) therapy indicated for patients with advanced melanoma.
