Why is Alumis stock collapsing today?

Alumis stock fell 54.2% in pre-market trading after its Phase 2b LUMUS trial for envudeucitinib in systemic lupus erythematosus missed primary and secondary endpoints. A subgroup of patients showed positive responses, but the overall trial population was under-represented. The company plans to discuss a Phase 3 program with regulators. The Nasdaq, S&P 500, and Dow Jones also declined, exacerbating the sell-off.
