Zynerba Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NASDAQ: ZYNE) shares saw a huge gain early on Thursday after the firm announced positive results from its mid-stage cannabinoid trial. Specifically, the firm was evaluating ZYN002 cannabidiol (CBD) gel in pediatric and adolescent patients with fragile X syndrome (FXS).
For some quick background: fragile X syndrome is an autism spectrum disorder affecting one in 4,000 males and one in 8,000 females. It is the most common inherited intellectual disability in males and a significant cause of intellectual disability in females.
