Abivax SA (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ABVX#NASDAQ">ABVX</a>) stock is skyrocketing on Wednesday after the clinical-stage biotechnology company announced overwhelmingly positive topline results from its Phase 3 ABTECT-1 (Study 105) and ABTECT-2 (Study 106) 8-week induction trials for oral obefazimod (ABX464) in adult patients with moderately to severely active <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/health-care">ulcerative colitis</a>. 
The Paris-based company achieved a significant breakthrough with its experimental treatment, which demonstrated impressive efficacy and offers new promise to patients afflicted with this <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/07/g46558444/abivax-announces-positive-phase-3-results-from-both-abtect-8-week-induction-trials-investigating-o">chronic bowel ailment</a>.
The ABTECT-1 and ABTECT-2 induction trials are assessing once-daily oral administration of obefazimod at 25 mg or 50 mg doses in adult patients with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis. ABTECT-1 and ABTECT-2 were conducted simultaneously and have enrolled 1,275 patients.
Also Read: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/25/01/43053632/fda-approves-expanded-use-of-eli-lillys-ulcerative-colitis-drug-for-crohns-disease" rel="noreferrer noopener">FDA Approves Expanded Use Of Eli Lilly&#8217;s Ulcerative Colitis Drug For Crohn&#8217;s Disease</a>
Results from the ABTECT-1 and ABTECT-2 trials demonstrated that obefazimod met its FDA primary endpoint of clinical remission at Week 8 in the 50 mg once-daily dose regimens for both trials.
Individually, ABTECT-1 showed a placebo-adjusted clinical remission rate of 19.3% (p&lt;0.0001) and ABTECT-2 demonstrated 13.4% (p=0.0001), each at the 50 mg once-daily dose, with all key secondary efficacy endpoints being met.
The 25 mg once-daily dose of obefazimod achieved the FDA primary endpoint of clinical remission at Week 8 in ABTECT-1, demonstrating a placebo-adjusted remission rate of 21.4%.
While the 25 mg dose did not achieve statistical significance for this endpoint in ABTECT-2, it achieved a pooled placebo-adjusted clinical response rate of 28.6%, indicating a strong signal for these patients to achieve clinical remission with extended treatment in the maintenance trial.
The safety profile of obefazimod remained consistent with prior clinical experience. No new safety signals were observed in either trial, and the treatment was generally well tolerated across both dose groups.
Ongoing ABTECT Phase 3 Maintenance Trial:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>678 of 1,275 participants entered Part 1, the responder cohort.</li>
<li>Topline maintenance results are expected in Q2 2026, which are intended to support regulatory filings globally.</li>
<li>Contingent on positive 44-week maintenance results, Abivax intends to submit a New Drug Application to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and a Marketing Authorization Application to the European Medicines Agency in the second half of 2026.</li>
</ul>
The company has postponed its first-half 2025 financial results announcement from August 11 to September 8, 2025. As of June 30, 2025, it had about $71.4 million (or 61.0 million euros) in cash and cash equivalents.
In March, Palatin Technologies Inc.&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PTN#NYSE">PTN</a>) shared topline results from its Phase 2 study of PL8177, a selective melanocortin-1 receptor (MC1R) agonist, in patients with <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/25/03/44536083/palatin-technologies-touts-positive-results-from-mid-stage-study-for-experimental-drug-for-ulcerative-colitis-halts-patients-enrollment-citing-strategic-focus" rel="noreferrer noopener">active ulcerative colitis</a>.
The company said clinical remission was achieved in 33% (3 of 9) of PL8177-treated patients versus 0% (0 of 3) on placebo.
Clinical response (statistically significant) was demonstrated in 78% (7 of 9) of PL8177-treated patients versus 33% (1 of 3) on placebo.

Signal description
Order flow analytics, aka transaction or market flow analysis, separate and study both the retail and institutional volume rate of orders (flow). It involves analyzing the flow of buy and sell orders, along with size, timing, and other associated characteristics and patterns, to gain insights and make more informed trading decisions. This particular indicator is interpreted as a bullish signal by active traders.&nbsp;
The Power Inflow occurs within the first two hours of the market open and generally signals the trend that helps gauge the stock's overall direction, powered by institutional activity in the stock, for the remainder of the day.&nbsp;
By incorporating order flow analytics into their trading strategies, market participants can better interpret market conditions, identify trading opportunities, and potentially improve their trading performance. But let's not forget that while watching smart money flow can provide valuable insights, it is crucial to incorporate effective risk management strategies to protect capital and mitigate potential losses. Employing a consistent and effective risk management plan helps traders navigate the uncertainties of the market in a more controlled and calculated manner, increasing the likelihood of long-term success

Quanta Services Rises 3.3% After Key Signal, Reversing Early Downtrend

Ethereum's (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) recent price rally is being driven by a sharp imbalance between <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/07/46535957/ethereum-roars-to-3-800-whats-driving-the-surge">new supply and institutional demand</a>, according to Bitwise Chief Investment Officer Matt Hougan.
What Happened: In an X thread <a href="https://x.com/Matt_Hougan/status/1947754601530429453">posted</a> on Tuesday, Hougan cited data showing that Ethereum exchange-traded products (ETPs) and corporate treasuries have purchased over 2.83 million ETH since mid-May, more than 32 times the net new supply generated by the network in the same period.
Hougan's analysis follows Ethereum's 50% price increase in the past month and a more than 150% rise since its April lows. 
The surge, he says, is not speculative but rather grounded in fundamentals.
"ETPs and Corporate Treasuries have combined to buy 2.83 million ETH since May 15—more than $10 billion at today's prices. That&#8217;s 32x net new supply," Hougan wrote.
ETH's rally marks a shift from earlier in the year. 
For the first four months of 2025, Ethereum's price declined as demand for ETPs remained muted. 
Between the launch of ETH ETPs in July 2024 and May 15, 2025, total ETH purchases by these vehicles stood at just 660,000 ETH, nearly matched by 543,000 ETH in new issuance over the same period. 
The result: flat price action.

That changed rapidly in May, Hougan said, as both institutional demand and new corporate treasury strategies picked up pace. 
Firms such as Bitmine (AMEX:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BMNR#AMEX">BMNR</a>) and SharpLink (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SBET#NASDAQ">SBET</a>) have publicly disclosed Ethereum holdings, and inflows into spot ETH ETPs have topped $5 billion since mid-May.
What&#8217;s Next: While Ethereum's market cap is roughly 19% the size of Bitcoin's, ETH ETPs have gathered less than 12% of the assets compared to Bitcoin ETPs, according to Hougan.
He suggests this asset gap may continue to narrow as demand persists.
Hougan added that corporate interest appears to be rising, citing signs that companies holding ETH in their treasuries are trading at a premium relative to the value of their assets, a dynamic that historically supports further accumulation.
Though Ethereum's monetary policy differs from Bitcoin's—ETH does not have a hard supply cap—Hougan emphasized that short-term price action is driven by basic supply and demand.
"All signs suggest the ‘ETH treasury company' trend will accelerate," he wrote. "In the short term, the price of everything is set by supply and demand."
