NuCana (NASDAQ: NCNA ) stock is rising on Wednesday as the clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company's shares experience heavy trading this morning. That has more than 9.6 million shares of the company's stock changing hands as of this writing.

NCNA is a beaten-down stock for numerous reasons, including failure of its prior lead candidate (Acelarin) in two phase 3 trials, as well as a limited cash runway. However, there are good reasons to believe that NCNA's current lead candidate, NUC-3373, will be successful. NUC-3373 aims to replace 5-fluorouracil (5FU) by overcoming its numerous limitations. Notably, 5FU is still used in a variety of malignancies. Importantly, 5FU-based chemotherapy regimens remain the cornerstone for treatment of colorectal cancer.
