Vir Biotechnology…today announced that the Phase 2 PENINSULA trial evaluating VIR-2482 for the prevention of symptomatic influenza A illness did not meet primary or secondary efficacy endpoints.
Why such a steep selloff? One reason is that VIR has tended to present itself to investors as all-powerful and all-knowing, which is perhaps a consequence of having George Scangos as (ex)CEO and having raised a huge amount of capital based on management’s reputation.
