WINDSOR, ON / ACCESSWIRE / March 30, 2016 / The Wealthy Biotech Trader (or "WBT"), an investment newsletter focused on showing everyday investors new opportunities in rapidly growing, little-known, biotech, pharma and medical device stocks making news and subsequent market moves, would like to highlight that the maximum gains are made by investors who seek out promising pharma companies before their filing of FDA approval.
So, here are four companies that have potentially blockbuster drugs, have already witnessed some traction in shares and are likely to offer potential high ROI to investors.
Advanced Medical Isotope Corp. (OTCMKTS: ADMD)
Agenus Inc (NASDAQ: AGEN)
Argos Therapeutics Inc (NASDAQ: ARGS)
Cannabis Science Inc (OTCMKTS: CBIS)
An approval by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) throws open the gates to a drug's or medical device's long journey in the market. This is especially the case for companies that receive approval for treatments for more widespread diseases like depression, Alzheimer's, obesity, diabetes, arthritis and the most dreaded of all - cancer. These blockbuster drugs, so often labelled as "breakthrough therapies," can translate into a handsome fortune for pharma companies (and their Investors).
STRATEGY AFFECTS ROI
Quite understandably, investors flock to grab stocks of companies that have received FDA approval. Unfortunately, what most investors don't realize is that they end up buying into the company after share prices have already surged. So, they are buying expensive, which limits their ROI. Moreover, investors need to be aware that even after an FDA approval has come through, the drug or medical device could take years to become a success.
MAXIMIZING GAINS
Investors who like to play it very safe, often lose a significant amount of money (in terms of lost opportunity) without even realizing it. They look out for news of approval and then chase shares that are already on the upswing.
Smart investors follow a slightly different approach to maximize their gains. They sniff out smaller players in the healthcare industry, ensure that they have potential blockbuster candidates, and invest in shares when the price is extremely low. An investment of a few thousand dollars in the right company at the right time can yield hundreds of thousands, if not millions, on FDA clearance.
NUCLEAR POWERED PROFITS
Advanced Medical Isotope Corp. (OTCMKTS: ADMD) is a late-stage radiation oncology focused medical device company engaged in the development of Yttrium-90 (Y-90) based brachytherapy devices for the treatment of non resectable tumors. Brachytherapy uses radiation to destroy cancerous tumors by placing a radioactive isotope inside or next to the treatment area.
The Y-90 brachytherapy product is able to target cells within a narrow range, minimizing damage to normal cells. Moreover, the safety profile is noteworthy. While traditional brachytherapy products emit radiation that may travel within and outside the body and have long half lives, the company's products use the Y-90 isotope, which travels only a short distance and has a half life of merely 2.7 days. The company's Y-90 RadioGel™ device is designed to be administered in a minimally invasive procedure.
In the last month of 2014 the company filed a de novo submission with the FDA for marketing clearance for its patented Y-90 RadioGel device. Investors were excited about the prospects, and the shares jumped 2,100% from $0.0003 to $0.0065 over the course of several months. If a trader made the savvy decision to to make an investment in (OTC: ADMD) at this low and rode it to the top we're talking about gains in the neighborhood of turning $10,000 into almost a quarter million. With the Company expecting to submit to the FDA again sometime this year (with the requested data from the last submission), things are starting to look the way they did between the middle of 2014 and the middle of 2015 for this ticker.
MORE OF THE SAME IS ON ITS WAY
There is a great deal of optimism around ADMD. This is because of two reasons. Firstly, the company addresses a market that is large, and growing at a phenomenal pace. Every year, approximately 14 million people are diagnosed with cancer worldwide. And, this staggering figure is expected to surge by about 70% over the next two decades.
Secondly, the company's products are based on radiation technology, which is the latest focus area for treatment. Radiation therapy has come to the forefront of all cancer therapies, and is already being administered to about 50% of all cancer patients. The market for radiotherapy is estimated to grow from $5.6 billion in 2015 to $8 billion by 2019.
While the company prepares to file for FDA submission, its share price is currently less than a penny. If FDA clearance is given, there is little doubt that the prospects for the company's patented Y-90 products are very bright. It won't be surprising to see the company's shares surge again by more than 2,000%.
A FEW OTHER BLOCKBUSTER POTENTIALS
Agenus Inc. (NASDAQ: AGEN) is an immuno-oncology company focused on the discovery and development of new treatments that engage the body's immune system to benefit cancer patients. The company focuses on discovering and developing checkpoint modulators and novel vaccines for both oncology and infectious disease. In 2014, the company announced that its Agenus' HerpV Therapeutic Vaccine for genital herpes met primary endpoint in the Phase 2 trials. The company’s shares jumped from $3 to $9.5. That’s a 217% increase! The company recently released 4Q15 revenues of $7.64 million. Analysts expect shares to reach $15. So, someone having purchased shares at $3 would enjoy an ROI of 400%.
Argos Therapeutics Inc. (NASDAQ: ARGS) is an immuno-oncology company focused on the development and commercialization of immunotherapies for the treatment of cancer using its Arcelis® technology platform. Argos' lead candidate, AGS-003, has entered pivotal ADAPT Phase III clinical trial for the treatment of metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC). The company's shares have jumped +100% year-to-date, from $2.30 to $4.90. Analysts expect shares to reach $16, which means that investors who purchased shares at $2.30 would reap returns of almost 600%.
Cannabis Science Inc. (OTCMKTS: CBIS) is engaged in medical marijuana R&D. The company focuses on critical illnesses, and adheres to scientific methodologies to develop, produce, and commercialize phytocannabinoid-based pharmaceutical products. Cannabis Science works with experts in drug development, medicinal characterization, and clinical research to develop, produce, and commercialize novel therapeutic approaches for the treatment for illnesses caused by infections as well as for age-related illness. The company's shares soared 33% on news of GW Pharmaceuticals announcing positive Phase 3 trial data for Epidiolex for the treatment of Dravet syndrome. Investors responded favorably because the latest news supports cannabinoids being able to produce compelling clinical data.
