Report: Phase II Assent and Recent Appointments Make NEPT Even More Appealing
(firmenpresse) - LOS ANGELES, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 07/26/11 -- A special report cites the appointment of two world-class biotech entrepreneurs, as well as other key developments over the past few weeks, as reasons why Neptune Technologies & Bioressources (NASDAQ: NEPT) has become even more attractive to speculators in the biotechnology space.
In late June, Neptune's majority-owned cardiopharma subsidiary, Acasti Pharma, got the go-ahead to proceed with a 429-patient Phase II clinical trial in Canada. This is significant because some had argued that Acasti would never be able to develop a real drug candidate from krill oil. Those arguments and risk are now off the table.
On July 5th, Neptune announced that Dr. Anthony Holler joined Neptune's Board of Directors and on July 20th, Neptune's subsidiary Acasti announced that Dr. Harlan Waksal had joined their firm as Executive Vice President, Business and Scientific Affairs.
Dr. Holler was a co-founder of ID Biomedical, a company which GSK acquired for $1.7 billion in equity value. Dr. Holler's global network in the biotech and pharma worlds, his clinical knowledge, and approach to company-building should add a valuable dimension to Neptune while enhancing the company's ability to create shareholder value.
Dr. Waksal was one of 2 co-founders of Imclone, which was sold to Eli Lilly for $6.5 billion during the second half of 2008. Waksal will be guiding the development of the company's strategic plan, especially the clinical strategy and development program for Acasti's Investigational New Drug (IND) with the Food and Drug Administration of the United States.
