$ZOM could surge 100% due to upcoming launch of TruformaTangible catalyst behind surge is due to the upcoming launch of Truforma , Zomedica’s point-of-care (POC) diagnostic device for the detection of thyroid disease in dogs and cats and adrenal disease in dogs. The platform will hit the market on March 30 , and ahead of the product’s debut, the company has also just nabbed a vital distribution deal. Last week, Zomedica announced an agreement with Miller Veterinary Supply who will distribute Truforma. Miller is the U.S.’s oldest wholesale veterinary distributor and one of the veterinary industry’s fastest growing businesses. The company will be Zomedica’s representative in the eastern and mid-eastern states. Its sales and customer service efforts will be bolstered by sales representatives assigned by Zomedica, which the company is currently recruiting as it prepares for the launch. The pet market has been a prime beneficiary of the pandemic’s stay-at-home mandates and according to the American Pet Products Association, spending in the segment reached a record $99 billion in the U.S. last year. Outlay on diagnostic care in this market is expected to grow to $2.8 billion in 2024 from $1.7 billion in 2019. H.C. Wainwright analyst Swayampakula Ramakanth says that ahead of Truforma’s debut, the agreement “strengthens the commercial machinery.” “We are encouraged by the progress in commercial preparation for the upcoming launch, and accordingly we are raising the probability of launch to 90%, up from 75% previously,” the 5-star analyst said. “Additionally, due to the lower yield of the long-term Treasury note that has resulted in a lower risk-free rate and a lower market risk premium, we have adjusted the discount rate to 6% from 12%.” To this end, Ramakanth boosted his price target on ZOM from $0.3 to $1.2, suggesting upside of an additional 20% from current levels. Needless to say, Ramakanth’s rating stays a Buy. finance.yahoo.com

OCGN and Bharat Biote Announce Execution of Definitive AgreementOcugen and Bharat Biotech Announce Execution of Definitive Agreement for the Commercialization of COVAXIN™ in the US Market. Definitive Agreement provides details of the previously announced intent to co-develop COVAXIN™ for the US market. Ocugen and Bharat Biotech to share US commercialization profits. Ocugen to receive initial supply of COVAXIN™ doses from Bharat Biotech upon authorization from US regulatory authorities while it ramps up manufacturing in the US. COVAXIN™ received EUA (Emergency Use Authorization) in India in January and is currently in a fully enrolled Phase 3 clinical trial involving 25,800 patients. COVAXIN™ (whole-virion inactivated COVID-19 vaccine candidate) effectively neutralizes UK variant of SARS-Cov-2 reducing the possibility of mutant virus escape. today announced they have entered into a definitive agreement to co-develop, supply, and commercialize Bharat Biotech’s COVAXIN™ , an advanced stage whole-virion inactivated COVID-19 vaccine candidate, for the United States market. Ocugen will have US rights to the vaccine candidate and will be responsible for clinical development , regulatory approval (including EUA) and commercialization for the US market . B harat Biotech will supply initial dose s to be used in the US upon Ocugen’s receipt of an EUA. In addition, Bharat Biotech will support the technology transfer for manufacturing in the US . In consideration for the exclusive license to the US market, Ocugen will share the profits from the sale of COVAXIN™ in the US market with Bharat Biotech, with Ocugen retaining 45% of the profits. In preparation for the development of COVAXIN™ in the US, Ocugen’s Vaccine Scientific Advisory Board and Ocugen management have initiated discussions with the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) and the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA) to develop a regulatory path to EUA and, eventually, biologics license application (BLA) approval in the US market for COVAXIN™. Ocugen is also in active discussions with manufacturers in the US to produce a significant number of doses of COVAXIN™ to support its US immunization program. H.C. Wainwright analyst Swayampakula Ramakanth raised his rating on Ocugen's stock on Thursday from neutral to buy and placed a $4.50 price forecast on its shares. Ramakanth cheered Ocugen's recent deal with India-based vaccine developer Bharat Biotech to potentially bring Covaxin, a COVID-19 vaccine candidate, to the U.S. market. Ramakanth posits that Covaxin could induce broader immunity and better protection against new coronavirus strains than the COVID-19 vaccines that have received emergency use authorization in the U.S. He also highlighted Covaxin's potential logistical advantages, due to its less onerous temperature storage requirements. Roth Capital analyst Zegbeh Jallah, meanwhile, believes Ocugen's share price could rise to as high as $8. Jallah applauded the structure of the deal, which gave Ocugen a 45% share of the potential profits from Covaxin's U.S. sales without requiring it to make an upfront payment to Bharat Biotech . Jallah's price target represents potential gains for investors of roughly 52% from Ocugen's closing price on Friday. Much of Ocugen's future growth prospects now rest on its ability to obtain emergency use authorization for Covaxin in the U.S . Thus, investors should brace for volatility in Ocugen's stock price as it advances toward clinical trials.

Vistagen (VTGN): Long-term Game-changer* This is not financial advice. This is my non-expert opinion. * Vistagen ( NASDAQ:VTGN ) is a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company with long-term potential. I believe it's technology is similarly game-changing the way I believe NanoFlu for Novavax is (www.novavax.com) ( ). It could have positive outcomes for the world. I hope that their tech comes to fruition. Their pipeline includes Neuroactive nasal sprays that don't involve benzodiazepine and its associated side effects. I hope they succeed because it could change the way patients with anxiety or depression-related disorders are treated. Vistagen: www.vistagen.com Pipeline: www.vistagen.com PH94B Neuroactive Nasal Spray is their most advanced candidate, which is currently in Stage 3 clinical trials. I encourage anyone who wants to do their own research. This animated demonstration was very informative for me www.youtube.com Keep an eye out for this company.

“Strong Buy” Penny Stock With Over 200% Upside on the Horizon“Strong Buy” Penny Stock With Over 200% Upside on the Horizon a biotechnology company with a focus on the treatment of glioblastomas, a class of aggressive tumors that attack the braid and spinal cord. These cancers, while rare, are almost always terminal, and CNS is working a new therapy designed to more effectively cross the blood-brain barrier to attack glioblastoma. Berubicin, CNS’s flagship drug candidate, is an anthracycline, a potent class of chemotherapy drugs derived from the Streptomyces bacteria strains, and used in the treatment of a wide variety of cancers. Berubicin is the first drug in this class to show promise against glioblastoma cancers. The drug candidate has completed its Phase 1 clinical trial, in which 44% of patients showed a clinical response. This number included one patient who showed a ‘Durable Complete Response,’ defined as a demonstrated lack of detectable cancer. Following the success of the Phase 1 study, CNS applied for, and received, FDA approval of its Investigational New Drug application. This gives the company the go-ahead to conduct a Phase 2 study on adult patients, an important next step in the development of the drug. CNS plans to start the mid-stage trial in 1Q21. Based on the potential of the company’s asset in glioblastoma, and with its share price at $2.22, several analysts believe that now is the time to buy. Among the bulls is Brookline’s 5-star analyst Kumaraguru Raja who takes a bullish stance on CNSP shares. Berubicin is the first anthracycline to cross the blood-brain barrier in adults and access brain tumors… Berubicin has promising clinical data in a Phase 1 trial in recurrent glioblastoma (rGBM) and has Orphan drug designation for treatment of malignant gliomas from the FDA. We model approval of Berubicin for treatment of recurrent glioblastoma in 2025 based on the Phase 2 data with 55% probability of success for approval. We model peak sales of $533 million in 2032,” Raja opined. “CNS pipeline also includes WP1244 (novel DNA binding agent) that is 500x more potent than daunorubicin in inhibiting tumor cell proliferation is expected to enter the clinic in 2021… In vivo testing in orthotopic models of brain cancer showed high uptake of WP1244 by brain and subsequent antitumor activity,” the analyst added. finance.yahoo.com

TYME Granted U.S. Patent Claims Treat COVID-19 InfectionsTYME Granted U.S. Patent Claims Covering Use of TYME-19 to Treat COVID-19 Infections TYME announced that it has received notification that the United States Patent and Trademark Office has granted additional patent claims related to the Company’s metabolomic technology platform. The patent, U.S. Patent No. 10,905,698, is directed to methods for treating COVID-19. Unlike immune therapies that depend upon the structure of the external virus coat of COVID-19 where the therapy directs its attack, we believe TYME-19 is agnostic to this structure and any mutations to the viral coat. TYME intends to initiate the appropriate clinical trials to substantiate the safety and efficacy of TYME-19. TYME-19 is an investigational compound that is not approved in the U.S. for any disease indication. finance.yahoo.com
