The Roller Coaster Ride Continues: DNDN

DNDN is up today (or this hour) ~40 cents a share in early afternoon trading. What's driving the volatility?
They are still trying to figure out exactly what the FDA really wants. More basic data is one thing, but additional clinical trial data and larger cohorts of patients is another.

One also has to realize that the patients in those clinical trials are at the last stages of the disease and are looking for something experimental to prolong life if not for a few days, or weeks.
The real benefit of the drug, in my opinion, would be to determine if the therapy is efficacious in newly diagnosed patients or people that have yet to present the later stages of disease. Using the treatments in combination with standard therapies is also being addressed.

DNDN is trading at $6.06 a share (up 6.5%) with roughly average volume.
