Moleculin Biotech, Inc., (NASDAQ: MBRX) shares have soared this latest week, closing Tuesday up 66% to $3.28. Just last week the stock was trading at a mere $0.81. The company will host a conference call on Thursday, June 29, 2017 at 4:30 PM ET to discuss what it refers to as “the recent new discovery of a metabolic inhibitor with the potential to treat pancreatic cancer as well as to provide a business update.” The company will no doubt be hoping to keep its stock price above $1.00 for ten consecutive days to regain compliance with NASDAQ’s Bid Price Rule.
Janssen Research & Development (JNJ) announced that the FDA has assigned a PDUFA date under priority review of October 28, 2017 for the supplemental New Drug Application (sNDA) of XARELTO (rivaroxaban) to include a 10 mg once-daily dose for reducing the risk of VTE after at least six months of standard anticoagulant therapy.
Akebia Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ:AKBA) announced the pricing of an underwritten public offering of 4,000,000 shares at a price of $14.50 per share. Shares closed the after-hours session down 4.7% to $14.78.
Gemphire Therapeutics Inc.(NASDAQ:GEMP) announced that it met the primary endpoint from its Phase 2b COBALT-1 trial. COBALT-1 evaluated gemcabene in homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HoFH) patients who are on stable maximally tolerated lipid-lowering therapies to assess the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of multiple rising doses of gemcabene. Gemcabene 300 mg lowered LDL-C by a mean of 25% (p=0.0063; range -55% to +1%), while the 600mg and 900mg doses lowered LDL-C by a mean of 30% (p=0.0047) and 29% (p=0.0035), respectively. Shares closed the after-hours session up 10% to $13.50.
