Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting
IND clearance de-risks a key pipeline asset and could re-rate Legend's growth prospects if Phase 1/2 proceeds smoothly; history shows biotech IND milestones can trigger initial positive moves, with additional upside if subsequent trials show efficacy or enable partnerships. However, approvals are not guaranteed and in vivo platforms carry manufacturing and regulatory risk.
