If there is a partnership deal, it will involve an up-front payment to CTIX. To claim that the stock price won't go up until there is a royalty stream coming in is just utter BS. The absurd market cap of about 150 million for a company with 3 different drugs in 5 clinical trials has been a product of a concerted effort by short sellers. It will be impossible for them to keep the price down when good clinical trial news comes out.
