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.

Why SELLAS Life Sciences Is Surging Premarket?Why SELLAS Life Sciences Is Surging Premarket?
SELLAS Life Sciences is captivating investors thanks to its late-stage cancer vaccine
Thanks to some news in December in the biopharma space, SLS stock is racing higher. So what was that news? And what else do you need to know?
its leading candidate Galinpepimut-S is making its way through Phase 3.
This immunotherapy targets the Wilms Tumor 1, which is the leading cancer antigen. Essentially, the company believes that this therapy, which is given via vaccine, reduces the immune response in a patient and has the ability to delay the relapse of cancer. Although SELLAS Life Sciences is testing it for a variety of cancers, it is currently in Phase 3 trials for acute myeloid leukemia.
This lead candidate is where the massive move in SLS stock comes from.
Importantly, SELLAS Life Sciences had some big news of its own in december. While its leading immunotherapy candidate remains in clinical trials, it entered a license agreement with China-based 3D Medicines. Through this deal, 3D Medicines will handle developing and commercializing Galinpepimut-S in mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Macau. According to a company press release, this could net $202 million in license fees for SELLAS. It also could bring an upfront payment of $7.5 million sometime this quarter.
it looks like another company is responsible for the move in SLS stock.
What do I mean? Well, in december we saw a major rally in Greenwich LifeSciences (NASDAQ:GLSI). Ahead of a conference, the company shared promising Phase 2b data on its breast cancer immunotherapy. Importantly, Greenwich LifeSciences is evaluating GP2 as a therapy for patients who have already undergone surgery for breast cancer. And according to the report yesterday, GP2 has reduced the recurrence rate of cancer in trial participants to 0%.
How does this tie into SELLAS Life Sciences? Well, GP2 and Galinpepimut-S are both unique immunotherapies that rely on vaccination as a delivery method. Essentially, both treatments are cancer vaccines. Both treatments are also quite innovative, representing potential advancements in the realm of cancer care. This means that with a more than 2,000% rally from GLSI stock, many investors may be rooting for the same with SLS.
Remember though, this is a tiny company that must continue to navigate clinical trials. Keep an eye on SLS stock, but proceed with caution.
100% Survival Achieved in Osteosarcoma Lung MetastasesMoleculin Announces 100% Survival Achieved in Osteosarcoma Lung Metastases Animal Model
a preclinical study in animals demonstrated a potentially significant therapeutic benefit of Annamycin against metastatic osteosarcoma.
Computerized tomography (CT) scans demonstrated that animals treated with Annamycin exhibited significant suppression of tumor growth and not a single death was observed in the treated animals, whereas significant tumor burden contributed to the rapid death of 90% of untreated animals. While the study continues, as of day 130, the survival rate for animals treated with Annamycin was 100%, compared with only 10% for untreated animals.
Annamycin is a "next generation" anthracycline that has recently been shown in animal models to accumulate in the lungs at up to 34 times the level of doxorubicin, which may account for the 100% survival rate attained in this most recent osteosarcoma lung metastases study.
Moleculin recently announced that the FDA has allowed the Company's request for investigational new drug (IND) status in order to study Annamycin for the treatment of soft tissue sarcoma metastasized to the lungs. In addition, the FDA granted Orphan Drug Designation for Annamycin for the treatment of soft tissue sarcomas.
"We expect that one, and potentially two, clinical trials in sarcoma lung metastases should be up and running this year."

ANVS401 Improves Cognitive and Functional Outcomes in StrokeAnnovis Bio's Lead Candidate ANVS401 Improves Cognitive and Functional Outcomes in Stroke Mice Study
data showing that a combination treatment using the Company's lead candidate ANVS401 and pifithrin after stroke improved mice locomotor activity and cognitive function more so than treatment with just one or the other agent.
While both treatments yielded improvements in locomotor and cognitive function, the combined ANVS401/PFT- treatment proved able to enhance stroke-induced endogenous neurogenesis and improve the functional recovery in stroke animals. The combined treatment also significantly improved cognitive function more than the single treatment with PFT- alone.

MMEDF over 3.41OTC name in the cutting-edge field of medical psilocybin is back in the consolidation zone. Can accumulate shares here or wait for the breakout confirmation to play to recent highs.
Should You Buy This Hot Reddit Stock?After GameStop's spectacular short squeeze, investors are now wondering if other heavily shorted stocks that are popular among contrarian Reddit investors, such as CEL-SCI.
As it turns out, discipline becomes paramount when the value of one's holdings goes up so high and so fast.
CEL-SCI is a development-stage biotech that is seeking to develop a novel immunotherapy treatment, Multikine, for head and neck cancer. Despite its noble goals, the company has its fair share of skeptics: Nearly 30% of its shares are shorted.
Multikine is CEL-SCI's only late-stage candidate. The experimental therapy is going through the final stages of phase 3 data collection and statistical analysis, with results expected any day. Multikine's phase 3 clinical trial has been going on for a decade, even though it was supposed to conclude in December 2015. The discrepancy between the actual and estimated trial completion time has caused CEL-SCI to become a contested stock.
All of this matters because large-cap biotechs can acquire development-stage competitors that successfully bring just one immuno-oncology therapy to market for more than $20 billion. CEL-SCI's market cap is just about $850 million, so the stock would without a doubt become a multi-bagger if it can bring Multikine past the finish line. Likewise, since it only has about $40.5 million in assets and negligible revenue, it will likely trade down to zero if Multikine disappoints.

This Penny Stock NMTR Could soar 462% in 2021The company’s development pipeline features drug candidates under investigation as treatments for short bowel syndrome (SBS) and celiac disease (CeD), two conditions that are both dangerous and difficult to treat.
9 Meters’ flagship product, Larazotide, is in Phase 3 development for the treatment of CeD. CeD affects about 1% of the population, yet there are no approved therapies. Top-line data from the study is expected in the second half of 2021.
Furthermore, this past December, the company announced that it had entered an agreement with EBRIS, the European Biomedical Research Institute of Salerno, to investigate Larazotide as a potential treatment for respiratory complications due to COVID-19.
The other major drug in the company’s pipeline is NM-002, for SBS. The company has recently announced positive Phase 1b/2a results, with a measurable impact on disease symptoms from a compound that was well-tolerated by patients.
ne of these NMTR bulls is Truist’s Srikripa Devarakonda. Citing Larazotide as a key component of his bullish thesis, the analyst noted, “We acknowledge investors are likely to see a pivotal trial in a tough-to-crack Celiac disease program as high risk despite encouraging Ph2b data. We model $705M/$353M in peak unadjusted/adjusted sales and see potential upside of 400% - 1650% from positive Ph3 readout.”
