rocketed 175% toward a 13-month high in afternoon trading Monday, after biopharmaceutical company announced positive results from its Phase 3 trial of its oral COVID-19 treatment. Trading volume spiked up to 264.2 million shares, compared with the full-day average of about 629,400 shares, and enough to make the stock the most actively traded on major U.S. exchanges.

Veru’s stock, which had closed at a 16-month low on Friday, has now run up 103.4% year to date, while the iShares Biotechnology ETF
