TGTX new 52 week high
this should have a very good day tomorrow absent a market meltdown. MS drug par excellence.
Has anyone checked out $GSTC? Similar biotech company like $TGTX except its much newer and has a patented formulation combinational therapy already FDA approved set and waiting for clinical trial approval in India for Multiple Sclerosis. It is an over-the-counter stock sitting over .01 just waiting for clinical trials approval. The market cap is on $8,000,000. The therapy isn't specific to the type of multiple sclerosis. So, the potential here is huge. The conservative market share that was done by seasoned professionals in the space, that is on their presentation is in the BILLIONs.

About Manhattan Pharmaceuticals:
Manhattan Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (OTCBB: MHAN) is a specialty healthcare product company focused on developing and commercializing innovative treatments for underserved patient populations primarily in the areas of dermatologic disorders. Manhattan Pharmaceuticals (through a strategic joint venture partnership with Nordic Biotech) is currently developing Hedrin, a novel, non-pesticide treatment for pediculosis (head lice) and a topical GEL for the treatment of psoriasis.
Manhattan Pharmaceuticals is located in New York City and is traded on the OTC Bulletin Board® under the ticker symbol "MHAN".
What's in the pipeline?
Hedrin™ for the Treatment of Head Lice
Hedrin is a novel, non-insecticide combination of silicones (dimethicone and cyclomethicone) that acts as a pediculicidal (lice killing) agent by disrupting the insect’s mechanism for managing fluid and breathing. In contrast with most currently available lice treatments, Hedrin contains no chemical insecticides. Because Hedrin kills lice by preventing the louse from excreting waste fluid, rather than by acting on the central nervous system, the insects cannot build up resistance to the treatment. Recent studies have indicated that resistance to chemical insecticides may be increasing and therefore contributing to insecticide treatment failure. Manhattan Pharmaceuticals believes there is significant market potential for convenient, non-insecticide treatment alternatives. Both silicones in this proprietary formulation of Hedrin are used extensively in cosmetics and toiletries.
To date, Hedrin has been clinically studied in 362 subjects and is currently marketed as a medical device in Western Europe and as a pharmaceutical in the United Kingdom ("U.K.").
In a randomized, controlled, equivalence, clinical study (conducted in Europe), Hedrin was administered to 253 adult and child subjects with head lice infestation. The study results, published in the British Medical Journal in June 2005, demonstrated Hedrin’s equivalence when compared to the insecticide treatment, phenothrin, the most widely used pediculicide in the U.K. In addition, according to the same study, the Hedrin treated subjects experienced significantly less irritation (2%) than those treated with phenothrin (9%).
A clinical study published in the November 2007 issue of PLoS One, an international, peer-reviewed journal published by the Public Library of Science (PLoS), demonstrated Hedrin’s superior efficacy compared to a U.K. formulation of malathion, a widely used insecticide treatment in both Europe and North America. In this randomized, controlled, assessor blinded, parallel group clinical trial, 73 adult and child subjects with head lice infestations were treated with Hedrin or malathion liquid. Using intent-to-treat analysis, Hedrin achieved a statistically significant cure rate of 70% compared to 33% with malathion liquid. Using the per-protocol analysis Hedrin achieved a highly statistically significant cure rate of 77% compared to 35% with malathion. In Europe, it has been widely documented that head lice has become resistant to malathion, and we believe this resistance may have influenced the study results. To date, there have been no reports of malathion resistance in the U.S. Additionally, Hedrin treated subjects experienced no irritant reactions, and Hedrin showed clinical equivalence to malathion in its ability to inhibit egg hatching. Overall, investigators and study subjects rated Hedrin as less odorous, easier to apply, and easier to wash out, and 97% of Hedrin treated subjects stated they were significantly more inclined to use the product again versus 31% of those using malathion.
Two new, unpublished Hedrin studies were completed by T&R in 2008. In the first, Hedrin achieved a 100% kill rate in vitro, including in malathion resistant head lice. In the other, a clinical field study conducted in Manisa province, a rural area of Western Turkey, Hedrin was administered to 36 adult and child subjects with confirmed head lice infestations. Using per protocol analysis, Hedrin achieved a 97% cure rate. Using intent-to-treat analysis, Hedrin achieved a 92% cure rate since 2 subjects were eliminated due to protocol violations. No subjects reported any adverse events.
In the U.S., Manhattan Pharmaceuticals, through the Hedrin JV, is pursuing the development of Hedrin as a medical device. In January 2009, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") Center for Devices and Radiological Health ("CDRH") notified H Pharmaceuticals that Hedrin had been classified as a Class III medical device. A Class III designation means that a Premarket Approval ("PMA") Application will need to be obtained before Hedrin can be marketed in the U.S. The Company expects to be required to complete at least one clinical trial as part of that PMA Application.
According to the American Academy of Pediatrics an estimated 6-12 million Americans are infested with head lice each year, with pre-school and elementary children and their families affected most often.
In February 2008, Manhattan Pharmaceuticals announced that it had entered into a joint venture agreement with Nordic Biotech Advisors ApS ("Nordic") to develop and commercialize Hedrin. The 50/50 joint venture entity, H Pharmaceuticals, now owns, is developing, and is working to secure commercialization partners for Hedrin in North America. Manhattan Pharmaceuticals manages the day-to-day operations of H Pharmaceuticals. H Pharmaceuticals is independently funded and is responsible for all costs associated with the Hedrin project, including any necessary US clinical trials, patent costs, and future milestones owed to the original licensor, Thornton & Ross Ltd.
What's all this talk about a merger?

Ariston Pharmaceuticals, Inc. is a specialty biopharmaceutical company focused on the acquisition, clinical development and rapid commercialization of human therapeutics in the Neurology area.
The Company is currently developing three clinical-stage compounds for application in four clinical indications. Prototypes of each product have shown evidence of efficacy and safety in previous clinical studies. Ariston intends to develop specialty sales and marketing capabilities to launch some of these products in the US market.
Ariston's Pipeline:
The lead compound, AST-726, is a nasal reformulation of a well-established and very safe vitamin B12 treatment and is expected to enter Phase II clinical trials in Europe for migraine prevention in 2006. A GMP formulation of AST-726 successfully completed Phase I studies in 2005 in the US.
Migraine affects 30 million or more people in the US. Acute migraine medications such as the successful triptans help some patients. However, roughly 40% of attacks are not completely resolved by such acute medications and many patients with cardiovascular problems can not take triptans. Some patients have attacks so frequently that acute treatment is not sufficient. Therefore, up to 11 million patients in the US are candidates for safe preventative medications, such as AST-726, to reduce severity and frequency of attacks.
AST-726 is also expected to enter Phase III trials in 2007 for maintaining healthy vitamin B12 levels. Vitamin B12 deficiency affects 1-3% of the US general population and particularly the elderly. Existing first line therapies for this indication require chronic intramuscular injections, often for life.
AST-117 is an oral drug for the treatment of anxiety states. In vitro, animal and human clinical studies indicate that AST-117 could provide a safer and effective alternative to leading anxiety drugs.
AST-914 is an oral drug for the treatment of a highly prevalent movement disorder. In vitro, animal and human clinical studies indicate that AST-914 could provide a safe and effective treatment for this disorder which currently has very few treatment options.
