Shares of Sareum Holdings Plc (LON: SAR) today surged 4.56% premarket despite the lack of major announcements from the company as investor interest in the biotech company’s shares spiked based on its recent progress.

The company’s latest announcement was about the reduction of milestone payments in the revised licensing agreement between Sierra Oncology and Cancer Research Technology Pioneer Fund (CPF) for the cancer drug candidate SRA737.

Sareum shares also got a boost from a report about the rising interest in Tyk2 inhibition from major pharmaceutical companies led by Bristol Myers Squibb and Pfizer who are developing various drug candidates based on the technology.
