Small biotech has recently released promising late stage trial results for its HEPLSAV hepatitus B vaccine drug, as well as encouraging earlier stage results for its TLR9 agonist in cancer indications. The stock took a large hit Jan. 8th when its TOLAMBA allergy drug failed to show therapeutic benefit based on interim analysis, that appears to present a buying opportunity, particularly since the reason for the failure appears to be the lack of clinically significant disease in the study population. Cash of $1.50/share & no debt and the recent filing of a $100M shelf registration suggests the company is well-positioned to leverage its recent progress into further positive developments. the stock appears to offer a reasonable risk/reward after the recent sell-off.
