10 Stocks Outperform Broader Market Last Week

1. Soleno Therapeutics Inc. (NASDAQ:SLNO)

Soleno Therapeutics soared by 46.6 percent week-on-week to end at $71.99 on Friday versus the $49.11 close on March 21, after securing the approval of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for its diazoxide cholin—to be called Vykat XR—which aims to treat extreme hunger in patients with Prader-Willi syndrome.

The syndrome is a rare genetic disorder caused by abnormalities in chromosome 15. Its symptoms include extreme hunger, low muscle tone, developmental delays, and behavioral challenges.

Meanwhile, extreme hunger poses a threat to people with the syndrome and can lead to severe obesity and associated health complications.

FDA’s approval followed a three-month delay after the agency classified responses from Soleno as a “major amendment” to its new drug application, requiring additional time to review.
