Individual performances
Regenxbio led the index in growth after their gene therapy treatment received a Fast Track designation from the FDA. Amyris also exhibited significant growth this month thanks to a number of new collaborations it entered into. It seems that there are many companies that are interested in working with Amyris’s new technology. Most of the rest of the index fell during the month. This was led by Ziopharm, due to a clinical hold that the FDA claced on their Phase I trial, and Arcadia, due to a secondary offering of shares.
