NMT Medical, Incorporated is Dramatically Oversold after CLOSURE Trial Data

Shares of NMT Medical, Inc. (NASDAQ: NMTI), a medical device company that designs, develops, manufactures and markets proprietary implants that allow interventional cardiologists to treat structural heart disease through minimally invasive, catheter-based procedures were dramatically oversold after its CLOSURE I using the STARFlex technology failed to meet its primary endpoint. The trial data failed to show superiority to current medical therapy for preventing recurrent strokes and TIAs. This may or may not be the end of the line for the STARFlex technology at least for the CLOSURE I application. However, there is much more to this company than this one device.

Most importantly is the CE Mark it has already earned in Europe for its CardioSEAL technology in 1996. The CardioSEAL is a catheter delivered cardiac implant device designed to close holes in the heart. In 2002, they received premarket approval (PMA) from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration allowing commercial sale of the company's CardioSEAL cardiac septal repair implant in the United States for patients with ventricular septal defects (VSD) that are not candidates for surgical closure. NMT Medical has already gotten its foot in the door in Europe and at least their toes in the door in the United States so their future, it appears, is not dependent on the CLOSURE I product that has a lot of questions to be answered about it before it can continue.

Additionally, please note the closing comment CEO Frank Martin made today when announcing the trial data results: "We are continuing to develop the next generation of bioabsorbable implants, including our BioTREK™ device. In addition, we should note that the results of CLOSURE I have no impact on the status of our current FDA and CE Mark approvals for ventricular septal defect (VSD) and atrial level shunt patients.”

Please view the 52-week chart as well as the 5-year chart on NMTI, and you will note that the stock is now trading well below most points except in parts of 2008. The selloff on June 18th was way overdone, and the price should recorrect back to the $1 range over the next few weeks, if not days.

Additonal information on their STARFlex, CardioSEAL as well as their BioSTAR technologies can be viewed on their website at http://www.nmtmedical.com/technology.aspx?id=206. Remember to do your own DD before purchasing any stocks and note that I have a long position in NMTI. Good luck and please utilize NMTI as a long-term investment and not only a short-term trade. There should and will be many other clinical trial results and approvals coming out of NMT Medical, and I will be anxiously awaiting all of them. Heart disease is a leading killer worldwide, and NMT Medical is equiping the medical device field with good options for several types of heart defects and injuries. The revenue stream should begin increasing as these product are marketed, partners are found or a buyout takes place.

Heck yeah 2.80 to 0.60 should be profit enough for the shorts. They better cover soon to keep such nice gains imo.

completely overexaggerated ! Shorts should be covering soon as well.

NMTI- I think the drop was over exaggerated and that we should see a nice bounce this am.

EEE (.12) ***TRADE ALERT*** Evergreen Energy Receives Positive Court Decision

Copyright Business Wire 2010

http://stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui?s=EEE&p=D&yr=0&mn=6&dy=0&id=p93095886049&a=179665325&listNum=1


DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Evergreen Energy Inc. (NYSE Arca:EEE), a green energy technology solutions company, received a favorable ruling from the Court of Common Pleas Columbiana County, Ohio in the litigation commenced by certain holders of our outstanding 2007 Convertible Notes against Buckeye Industrial Mining Co., the Company and the holders of the 2009 Notes, AQR Absolute Return Master Account L.P., et al., v. Centurion Credit Funding LLC, Level 3 Capital Fund, LP, Buckeye Industrial Mining Company, et al., Case No. 10CV340 (Ct. Com. Pl. Columbiana County, OH). The favorable ruling provides: First, that the temporary restraining order currently preventing the company from transferring approximately $2.5 million of the proceeds from the sale of certain Buckeye assets and certain assets of the company will be lifted effective at 4:00 p.m. EDT on June 11, 2010. Second, the Court denied a further request to (i) restrain the transfer of these proceeds, (ii) restrain the recovery and use by the company of approximately $5 million in cash collateral backing certain environmental reclamation bonds, and (iii) place certain other restrictions upon the company and its subsidiaries.

This ruling clears the way for the company to collect and use approximately $7.5 million of proceeds from the Buckeye sale to retire certain trade debts and to support its working capital needs. Further, the ruling places no new restrictions on approximately $2.7 million of proceeds from the sale, currently held in escrow to cover indemnification claims from the buyer, which are scheduled to be released to Evergreen on March 31, 2011.

"We are pleased that the Court agreed with our position that judicial restrictions on the company's use of the proceeds from the Buckeye asset sale were not warranted," said Thomas H. Stoner, Jr., CEO and director of Evergreen. "We intend to employ the excess funds that become available to the company for working capital purposes. The efforts to sign a commercialization agreement for K-Fuel(R) are moving ahead, and to address next steps we are deploying additional engineering resources to China. Also, we continue our GreenCert(TM) product development, focusing on advanced technology including Cloud-based architecture. These accomplishments combined with our improved first quarter operations position us well for the second half of 2010. In fact, illustrating confidence in our business plan, members of our board and the management team have recently purchased Evergreen common stock."

Although the Court has issued a ruling in favor of the Company, the merits of the litigation have not been resolved.

Evergreen Energy Inc.

Evergreen Energy Inc. (NYSE Arca: EEE) has developed two proven, proprietary, patented, and transformative green technologies: the GreenCert(TM) suite of software and services and K-Fuel(R). GreenCert, which is owned exclusively by Evergreen, is a scientifically accurate, scalable environment intelligence solution that measures greenhouse gases and generates verifiable emissions credits. K-Fuel technology significantly improves the performance of low-rank coals yielding higher efficiency and lowering emissions. Visit www.evgenergy.com for more information.

Mootley Fool says, a buyout and bidding war could indeed come:
http://www.fool.com/investing/high-growt...


IMO, based on AEterna's great pipeline of late stage cancer drugs, she should be trading
well over $8 and could be taken over for $15 per share. I think, AEZS is a multi-bagger
and worth doing your own DD. If there's no buyout and Perifosine is marketed, AEZS could
be a 100-bagger, a 10.000% chance.

Canaccord ups AEterna price target

Canaccord Genuity has raised its price target on “speculative buy-rated” AEterna Zentaris (AEZS 1.86 ?6.06%) (NASDAQ:AEZS; TSX:AEZ (1.91 ?2.55%)) to $2.60 (U.S.) from $1.65 after updating its valuation to include the colorectal cancer indication for the company’s perifosine drug.

In a new report, analyst Neil Maruoka says he figures perifosine will have peak revenues of $400 million treating colorectal cancer and gives the drug a 55% probability of clinical success. That’s the same probability that he projects for perifosine’s multiple myeloma indication.

The drug has advanced into Phase 3 studies in multiple myeloma and colorectal cancer, and “we believe that results from these studies will be major drivers for the stock,” he added.

Cytori Reports Stem & Regenerative Cells from Body Fat Improve Outcomes in Heart Attack Clinical Trial; Plans Underway for European Multicenter Pivotal Trial

The first clinical trial of adipose (fat) tissue-derived stem and regenerative cells for the treatment of heart attacks showed a substantial reduction in the size of injury to the heart, an improvement in the amount of blood supply to the heart muscle, and a corresponding functional improvement in the amount of blood the heart can pump. Based on positive safety and feasibility outcomes, and the biological, physiological and functional effects from this pilot study, plans are underway by Cytori Therapeutics (NASDAQ: CYTX), the trial sponsor, to initiate a European medical device approval study for the Celution® System, the cell processing system used in the study. More detailed information on this study and the results from a separate study in chronic heart disease patients may be found at the following link: cytoritx.presslift.com/cardiacdata.

Six-month results from the 14 patient, double-blind, placebo controlled study, referred to as the APOLLO trial, were reported today by Henrickus J. Duckers, M.D., Ph.D., Interventional Cardiologist, Head of Molecular Cardiology, Thoraxcentre, Erasmus University Hospital and co-Principal Investigator for the trial, at the 7th International Symposium on Stem Cell Therapy & Cardiovascular Innovation in Madrid, Spain. Highlights of the study’s six month outcomes are as follows:

The Celution® System-based procedure could be safely performed in an acute setting with no side effects from cell delivery, and no increase in arrhythmias

The study showed a 13.3% absolute reduction in the left ventricular infarct size (the portion of the heart not receiving blood to support pumping) in the treated group versus 8.2% in the placebo group from baseline to six months, based on blinded assessment of MRI data by an independent core laboratory. These data represent matched-pair analysis and exclude two patients whose follow up MRIs were not available. For the entire cohort of patients, mean infarct size improved from 31.6% at baseline to 15.4% at 6 months in cell-treated patients, and remained unchanged at 24.7% in the placebo group. The relevance of this reduction is that based on published literature, patients with an infarct size below 18% have a significantly lower risk of major adverse cardiac events (MACE) than those who are above this level
There was a 3.5 fold greater improvement in perfusion within the left ventricle in the cell treated group (6.0) compared to the placebo group (1.7), as measured by SPECT Visual Rest Scores (nuclear imaging of the heart)
Ejection fraction was measured by four imaging modalities. The greatest absolute change was found in the SPECT (single photon emission computed tomography) analysis, which showed a 5.7% absolute improvement in the cell treated group (+4.0%) compared to placebo (-1.7%)
“Improvements in infarct size, perfusion and ejection fraction are reflective of improvement in the overall cardiovascular health of a patient,” said Dr. Duckers. “Infarct size in particular, based on emerging consensus by the medical community and literature, is what we believe to be the most important predictor of re-hospitalization for heart failure, subsequent infarct, and death. The outcomes from this study are very exciting and warrant moving into a pivotal trial for European approval.”

“The clinical data from APOLLO is consistent with Cytori’s comprehensive preclinical data, reinforcing that improved blood flow and reduction of infarct size are how these cells are believed to impart benefit,” said Marc H. Hedrick, M.D., president of Cytori. “Compared to other cell sources, adipose tissue, using the Celution® System, is the only approach whereby a patient can access a meaningful number of their own cells at the point-of-care. This is especially critical for heart attack patients, where successful outcomes are dependent on immediate coronary intervention.”

As part of the novel procedure, a small amount of fat tissue was removed from each patient’s abdomen shortly after his or her heart attack. Using a proprietary medical device, the Celution® System, developed by Cytori, stem and regenerative cells were quickly separated from each patient’s fat tissue and concentrated at the point-of-care in the catheter laboratory. The cells were then immediately injected into the patient’s coronary artery. Liposuction, processing, and cell delivery all took place within the same procedure.

The APOLLO study is led by co-Principal Investigators Patrick W. Serruys, MD, PhD, Professor of Interventional Cardiology at the Thoraxcentre, Erasmus University Hospital and Henrickus J. Duckers, M.D., Ph.D., Interventional Cardiologist, Head of Molecular Cardiology, Thoraxcentre, Erasmus University Hospital. Hospital General Universitario Gregorio Marañón in Madrid, led by Francisco F. Avilés M.D., PhD, Professor of Medicine and Chief of Department of Cardiology, also participated in this study.

“We would like to thank the patients, the investigators, and all who collaborated with us on this trial,” added Alex Milstein, M.D., Vice President of Clinical Development at Cytori. “We are working closely with our Notified Body in Europe to finalize the design and protocol for a pivotal heart attack study, which we expect to initiate in late 2010 to early 2011. This will be a European approval study that is expected to range in size from 150 to 250 patients.”

Dear Shareholders,
The first quarter of 2010 was very strong for Cytori. In particular, we substantially grew product revenues, shipped more consumables per quarter than ever, launched a new product platform in the U.S. and completed several important objectives related to our pipeline.
Today, Cytori sells differentiated and proprietary products to the private-pay cosmetic surgery markets within the U.S., Europe, and Asia as well as innovative equipment for cell banking and research. In parallel, we are laying the foundation for future growth through advancements in our pipeline of therapeutic applications for our core product, the Celution® System. Celution® has been used by our physician customers to treat many debilitating or fatal medical conditions such as cardiovascular disease, non-healing and recalcitrant wounds from radiation injury, urinary incontinence and others.
Despite the breadth of diseases represented in this limited list above, there is a clear common thread connecting them all. That thread is ischemia. In these diseases, as well as many others, Cytori’s technology helps patients by improving tissue ischemia or low blood supply conditions. Adipose-derived stem and regenerative cells (ADRCs) have unlimited potential in a large number of diseases by improving blood supply to tissues that would otherwise remain ischemic (or blood starved). When added to adipose tissue, ADRCs improve survival of this natural filler by improving blood supply and enhancing the flow of oxygen and nutrients. When ADRCs are administered directly into the diseased heart, ischemia is improved, based on a comprehensive portfolio of basic and preclinical research. This common mechanism of action of ADRCs formed the basis for Cytori’s RESTORE 2 study that has completed enrollment in Europe as well as two Cytori sponsored cardiovascular studies that have been accepted for presentation at two forthcoming scientific meetings. Furthermore, a growing number of physicians around the world are further expanding the use of Cytori technology with investigator sponsored clinical studies.
Product Sales
In the first quarter, product revenues were $2.3 million, representing 19% growth over Q1 2009 product revenues of $1.9 million and 80% growth over the 4th quarter 2009. Revenues grew from a mix of Celution® and StemSource® sales in Europe, Asia and the U.S. and the move toward increased direct sales. Growth of consumable reorders reflects the established base of satisfied customers who are increasingly integrating Celution® into their practices. We also achieved our second StemSource® Cell Bank installation in Japan, which was ordered by one of our existing Celution® customers to meet growing patient demand to store their own stem cells following liposuction for subsequent cosmetic procedures.
The cumulative number of revenue generating systems grew to 110 in the quarter, compared to 59 at the end of the first quarter of 2009. In addition, 342 consumables, including 261 re-orders, were shipped, compared to 241 total consumables shipped in Q1 2009, 164 being reorders. More than 2,300 cumulative consumables have been shipped since commercialization began in Q1 2008.
Product Pipeline and Future Growth
Cosmetic and Reconstructive Surgery
Near term sales growth will come through a combination of increased sales of existing products including Celution®, StemSource® and PureGraft® for cosmetic and research applications as well as emerging consumable sales for use in breast reconstruction. Our FDA cleared PureGraft® product was launched at the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery meeting in Washington D.C. last week. More information on this unique product can be found on our newly introduced PureGraft® e-commerce site at www.puregraft.com. We anticipate EU approval on PureGraft® soon and expect this will contribute to sales growth increasingly throughout 2010.
Currently, reconstructive surgery represents only a fraction of overall consumable sales. We believe that 12 month data from RESTORE 2 will significantly expand our ability to obtain third party and governmental reimbursement, supporting increased adoption in that market. Well in advance of RESTORE 2 data release, Cytori has begun to expand its price negotiation and reimbursement efforts in Europe, focused principally on two areas. First, we are obtaining key opinion leader support for Cytori technology specifically in the Italian and U.K. markets. In addition, we are accelerating our direct lobbying efforts to third party payers and governmental gate keepers responsible for reimbursement decision making. Significant progress is being made in both markets and we will keep you updated as we achieve key milestones.
Interventional Cardiology
Tomorrow, May 7th, Cytori investigators will report results from our two cardiac clinical trials: APOLLO for acute myocardial infarction (heart attack) and PRECISE for chronic myocardial ischemia, a severe form of chronic heart disease. Specifically, these results will be presented at the 7th International Symposium on Stem Cell Therapy and Cardiovascular Innovations in Madrid, Spain. Following the presentation of these results, we will address possible next steps in this area.
U.S. Regulatory Approval for the Celution® System
Obtaining U.S. approval for Celution® is a major goal for Cytori. A Pre-IDE meeting with the FDA is scheduled this month to define clinical objectives needed for Celution® approval for soft tissue reconstruction. We anticipate that our next opportunity to update investors on this U.S. application will be upon the acceptance of our IDE application, which would signify that the FDA has agreed to our trial design.
In the meantime, we intend to rapidly grow U.S. sales of our PureGraft® and StemSource® products. This benefits today’s top line growth and helps Cytori build key U.S. physician relationships and product awareness as well as strengthen our position as the clear leader in the field.
‘Cytori’s Innovation Partners’ and New Uses of Cytori Technology
Regenerative medicine is a new and exciting field of medicine. As a result, many physician researchers want safe, clinical-grade cells to restore the lives of their patients. This is a common theme we hear each week. As a result, many hospitals around the world are conducting independent investigator-initiated studies using the Celution® System for indications as diverse as urinary incontinence, cardiomyopathy, renal failure, liver disease, radiation injury and burns. The value that our ‘innovation partners’ bring is undeniable. In fact, RESTORE I, a breast cancer reconstruction study, is the first example of the value of this opportunity that has led to our first potential U.S. indication for Celution®.
In short, Celution® is an ‘innovation platform’ as much as a therapeutic medical device. This aspect of our business is a critical strategic advantage for the Company. By outsourcing the early clinical development to expert clinicians in this way, we cost effectively accelerate our clinical development program and create greater opportunities to take key indications directly to market or to establish strategic partnerships.
Operating Results
We generated a substantial increase in gross margin. Gross margin increased to 59% in the first quarter 2010 compared with 43% in the first quarter 2009. The improvement in margin is due largely to a greater proportion of direct sales and improved manufacturing efficiencies.
While aggressively driving sales, we continue to control our expenses. Total operating expenses were effectively unchanged compared to the first quarter of 2009, excluding the non-cash change in warrant and option liabilities. We also substantially improved our balance sheet, ending the first quarter with $22.7 million in cash and cash equivalents compared to $12.9 million at the end of 2009. Subsequent to the end of the quarter, we raised an additional $2.3 million from the sale of stock through our committed equity agreement with Seaside 88, LP.
Summary
In our 2009 year end shareholder letter, I mentioned our 3 core objectives for 2010 and I would like to summarize them: 1) expand our cosmetic and reconstructive surgery related sales, 2) advance our core pipeline applications and 3) establish a substantive partnership. The first quarter of 2010 represents a very strong start to the year. We are confident in continued sales growth for the remainder of 2010, with clinical outcomes to be reported from our APOLLO and PRECISE cardiovascular trials this week. The increased visibility provided by both sales growth and the reporting of key clinical data provide a basis for advancing discussions with potential partners.
Thank you for your interest in Cytori and we look forward to keeping you updated on our growth and progress.
Warm Regards,

Christopher J. Calhoun
Chief Executive Officer
