Celcuity plunges after trial results, underscoring data risk in its cancer program

Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting
A 25% one-day drop signals strong immediate price sensitivity to trial data. Underperformance versus prior results reduces confidence in the program's value trajectory, increasing near-term downside risk and potential need for further funding or strategic pivots. Historically, biotech sell-offs after disappointing data can persist until new catalysts (readouts, approvals) appear.
