Northwest Biotherapeutics: Blinded Data from Phase 3 Trial Strongly Suggests that DCVax-L is a Major Advance in the Treatment of Newly Diagnosed Glioblastoma Multiforme; It Looks Like NWBO Has Hit a Therapeutic and Commercial Home Run (NWBO, Buy, $0.25)
Investment Hypothesis on Dendritic Cell Cancer Vaccines I have no academic background in immunology so that you should take that into account as you read this hypothesis. You must recognize that mine is the view of a layman. That said, here is my hypothesis on the potentially breakthrough role for DCVax-L and dendritic cell cancer […]
Cytokinetics: Update on Extensive Clinical Trials Being Conducted (CYTK, Buy, $9.45)
Investment Overview and Thesis Cytokinetics has an extremely valuable asset in omecamtiv mecarbil, which it is developing in collaboration with Amgen; it is currently being studied in the huge, 8000+ patient, GALACTIC-HF phase 3 trial.

AMAG: It Is Early Days, but the Launch of the Subcutaneous Dosage Form of Makena Seems to be Going Very Well (AMAG, Buy, $21.17)
Investment Thesis The investment thesis for AMAG in 2018 and 2019is overwhelmingly dependent on how successful the Company will be in switching patients from the intra-muscular (IM) dosage of Makena to the new subcutaneous (subcu) formulation. The subcu was launched on March 26 and the first patient was injected on March 28. The subcu has […]
Portola: Approval of AndexXa is a Major Positive (PTLA, Buy, $41.19)
Investment Opinion Based on assumptions made in this report, I estimate that AndexXa could be valued by investors at $114 to $ 200 per Portola share by 2023. This makes Portola a very attractive investment opportunity without taking into account any contribution from Bevyxxa which was recently launched in the US and potential pipeline contributions, […]
