BALTIMORE, Oct. 27, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Goldman Small Cap Research, a stock market research firm focused on the small cap and micro cap sectors, has published a research update on Ohr Pharmaceutical, Inc. (OTCBB:OHRP), a pharmaceutical firm engaged in the development of drugs with large underserved markets.
Ohr has 2 primary drugs in Phase II development, including a treatment for cancer cachexia and WET-AMD (Age-related macular degeneration). The combined markets for these treatments are more than $3 billion.
In the Goldman Opportunity Research update on the Company, analyst Rob Goldman outlines milestone events that he believes will serve as catalysts for the Company's shares.
"We view Ohr as a stock that offers a rare opportunity to get in on the ground floor of a mature, late stage biotech. Two of its Phase II development drugs address large markets underserved by current therapies and have demonstrated stellar efficacy and safety profile results. The OHR/AVR 118 Phase IIb trial is up and running and Ohr's plans to engage in a delivery reformulation for Squalamine to treat WET-AMD are progressing. This could lead to a re-entry into Phase IIb trials with the new and current formulation, focused on the fellow eye (late stage WET-AMD), for which there is currently no effective treatment. Ohr presents great value and home run potential with its products under development."
