Ya - noticed the same sentence - anyway it could be marketing ploy of taking credit of being first.

If you notice - they also are in dose escalation phase - plan to enroll 180 patients in ph II and expected approval by 2020

Their goal is collaboration or buyout by Big Pharma

So they are very parallel to CTIX - but they have more money - better PR machine and better visibility

Not sure that was exactly Truth in Advertising but one never knows.

On the ABX front, lots haven't heard of Brilacidin.... like the U of MD lead researcher who is advancing their HDP-M, who said (via email): "I knew about Pokymedix but didn't realize Cellceutix had taken things over..."

Seems like Aprea and CTIX are close to neck and neck, though the former better backed. Hopefully we'll find that Big Rx partner to help expedite our pipeline as they Science continues to merit it.

EXCERPT
For some years now, big drugmakers have been disappointed by the performance of their in-house labs, and have increasingly looked outside for small firms with promising ideas. Nils Behnke, a partner at Bain, says that over the period covered by its study, the best-performing drug companies got more than 70% of their revenues from products that were not developed in-house.

The smaller, younger drug firms being bought in such deals can often be better than the pharma giants at thinking up new ways to attack a disease. But they typically lack the expertise to organise clinical trials, deal with regulators and get a drug successfully to market. These are the strengths of the big pharma firms. So combining the two sets of skills makes sense.
