| | | | | Invest In This Biotech Company Solving A $240B Problem | | | | | Every year, over 600M patients suffering from osteoarthritis spend $240 billion on painkillers and other palliative solutions to the cartilage damage caused by this debilitating disease. These "band-aid" therapies are temporary and do not treat the root cause of osteoarthritis.
Enter Cytonics.
This private biotech startup has harnessed the therapeutic potential of a naturally occurring blood protein, called "A2M," to reverse cartilage deterioration in arthritic joints. Their first FDA approved A2M-based therapy has successfully treated over 8,000 patients, proving the therapeutic efficacy of A2M, and restoring patients' quality of life. Backed by Johnson & Johnson and the NIH, Cytonics is developing a genetically engineered A2M variant that is more potent than the natural form. This lead drug candidate, "CYT-108," has been proven to restore up to 80% of cartilage damage caused by osteoarthritis in preclinical studies. Cytonics' first-in-in-class CYT-108 will enter Phase 1 clinical trials later this year. Invest in Cytonics as they blaze toward their second FDA drug approval, and before this private biotech goes public. | | | | | | DOW 30,483.13 | -0.15% | | | | S&P 3,759.89 | -0.13% | | | | NASDAQ 11,053.08 | -0.15% | | | | *As of market close | | • | Stocks closed lower on Wednesday, but closed well off the morning lows | | • | Oil sank 3.9 percent, closing at $105.24 per barrel. | | • | Gold traded flat, going for $1,840 per ounce | | • | Cryptocurrencies were slightly down, with Bitcoin at $20,086 at the market close. | | | | | | | | | | Buy Companies Doing This for Shareholders Right Now | | | | There are two main ways companies can reward shareholders.
