VP WATCHLIST HIGHLIGHTS

Our complete VP Watchlist is a list that we believe deserves consideration for short term and long term portfolio adds that include Apple, Tesla, Disney & 8 other names currently. The dedicated pages for each of these companies will enable you to stay informed and learn more about these companies daily. Please review few of the updates on a few of the VP Watchlist companies below:


  • Shares of VP Watchlist stock INmune Bio (NASDAQ: INMB), a clinical-stage immunology company focused on developing treatments that harness a patient’s innate immune system to fight disease, closed at $13.56, +8.74%, after reaching an intraday high of $13.87.
    • Last week, INMB presented multiple poster presentations and a plenary talk at the 14th Clinical Trials on Alzheimer’s Disease (CTAD) Annual Meeting held in Boston. Learn more. 
    • On Nov. 3rd, INmune Bio reported its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2021 and provided a business update including the announcing of a second Phase 2 trial of XPro in Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) in addition to previously announced Phase 2 trial in mild Alzheimer’s disease (AD) & Cash and cash equivalents of $84.5 million on September 30th. RJ Tesi, M.D., Chief Executive Officer of INmune Bio stated, “In the first patient treated in our Phase I study of INKmune™ in high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome, INKmune™ was found to safely produce cancer killing memory-like NK cells while increasing proliferation and persistence of those NK cells. As expected, the memory-like NK cells generated in vivo killed NK-resistant cancer cells in vitro. We now have data from Day 73 post first treatment and over 60% of his peripheral blood NK cells remained activated and highly functional in vitro. We are continuing to screen patients for future enrollment and are in the process of expanding the number of clinical trial sites in the UK and overseas. Our latest drug stability data allows us to extend the shelf-life to over 12 months and consequently we initiated a manufacturing scale up to secure drug supplies as the program expands. In our Phase I trial of XPro in AD, we have shown that XPro decreases biomarkers of neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration while improving biomarkers of CNS repair. We hope to demonstrate these effects on cognition in the Phase II mild AD trial that is on track to initiate later this year.” INmune Bio announced that they will deliver multiple poster presentations and a plenary talk at the upcoming 14th Clinical Trials on Alzheimer’s Disease (CTAD) Annual Meeting that is being held during November 9-12 in Boston.

    • I hosted a FREE Tribe Public Presentation and Q&A event with INMB management today, Thursday, September 30 at 8:30am PT/11:30am ET. INmune Bio’s (NASDAQ: INMB) CEO Dr. Raymond J. Tesi, MD and CFO David J. Moss delivered their presentation titled “Improving White Matter Integrity In Alzheimer’s Disease” & and were available for a brief Q&A session. Please view the video now to learn more.
    • On Wednesday, Aug. 4th, INmune Bio, Inc. reported its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2021 and provided a business update. Raymond J Tesi, M.D., CEO/CMO of INmuneBio (INMB) stated, “We continue our planning and setup for a Phase 2 clinical trial of our lead candidate, XPRO™ (Xpro1595™), in patients with mild Alzheimer’s disease, which we plan to initiate by year-end. We have already demonstrated that XPRO™ can reduce neuroinflammation and decreases biomarkers of neurodegeneration and improve synaptic function. If successful in Phase 2, we believe XPRO™ has the potential to be among the most significant advancements in the treatment of Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) and other neurodegenerative diseases in many years. At the Alzheimer’s Association International Conference last week, we introduced a new biomarker – Apparent Fiber Density (AFD), a measure of axonal integrity measured by MRI. XPRO™ increases AFD in patients receiving 1mg/kg/week. We believe the novel non-invasive white matter analytics of white matter free water and apparent fiber density will be very useful in the development of XPRO™ in AD, Treatment Resistant Depression (TRD) and the many other CNS indications we hope to attack in the future. Last month, we treated the first patient in the first Phase 1 clinical trial of our NK cell priming platform, INKmune, in high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). We are calling INKmune a pseudokine because, in vitro, it converts the resting NK cells into memory-like NK cells that can kill cancer cells as well or better than NK cells treated cytokines such as IL-12, IL-15 and IL-18 alone or in combination.”
    • On July 26th, INmune Bio announced the design of its upcoming Phase 2 clinical trial of XProTM in patients diagnosed with mild Alzheimer’s disease (AD) at AAIC. The announcement was accompanied by the release of additional biomarker data from the Phase 1b AD trial that shows improvement in white matter (myelinated axons) that degenerate in AD patients.

    • On Nov 4, FATE reported business highlights and financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2021. Scott Wolchko, President and Chief Executive Officer of Fate Therapeutics stated, “The interim Phase 1 data from our FT516 and FT596 programs in relapsed / refractory lymphoma demonstrate that our off-the-shelf, iPSC-derived NK cell product candidates have the potential to deliver substantial therapeutic benefit for patients along with a differentiated safety profile that supports outpatient treatment. We look forward to sharing additional clinical data from both of these programs at the American Society of Hematology Annual Meeting in December. We also continue to be pleased with the clinical advancement of our multiplexed-engineered, iPSC-derived NK cell pipeline, where we have now successfully treated the first patients with FT516 in disease-specific expansion cohorts for lymphoma and with FT538 in combination with daratumumab for multiple myeloma. Additionally, we have successfully completed GMP manufacture and release of FT576, our multi-antigen targeted, CAR BCMA product candidate for multiple myeloma, and have initiated enrollment in our Phase 1 study.”

    • On Oct. 1, Fate announced that one oral and four poster presentations for the Company’s induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) product platform were accepted for presentation at the 36th Annual Meeting of the Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer (SITC) being held November 10-14, 2021. The oral presentation will highlight preclinical data for FT536, the Company’s off-the-shelf, multiplexed-engineered, iPSC-derived, chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) NK cell product candidate that uniquely targets the α3 domain of the MHC class I related proteins A (MICA) and B (MICB). In a recent publication in Cancer Immunology Research (DOI: 10.1158/2326-6066.CIR-19-0483), Kai W. Wucherpfennig, M.D., Ph.D., Chair of the Department of Cancer Immunology and Virology at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and co-leader of the Cancer Immunology Program at Dana-Farber / Harvard Cancer Center, demonstrated that cancers with loss of MHC Class I expression can be effectively targeted with MICA/B α3 domain-specific antibodies to restore NK cell-mediated immunity against solid tumors. The FT536 program is supported by an exclusive license from the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute to intellectual property covering novel antibody fragments binding MICA/B for iPSC-derived cellular therapeutics. The Company expects to submit an Investigational New Drug (IND) application for FT536 in the fourth quarter of 2021 for the treatment of advanced solid tumors, including in combination with monoclonal antibody therapy.
    • On September 15, Fate Therapeutics announced the publication of preclinical data demonstrating that its off-the-shelf, multiplexed-engineered, iPSC-derived NK cell product candidate FT538 exhibits significantly enhanced serial killing and functional persistence compared to peripheral blood NK cells. The superior anti-tumor activity of FT538 was attributable to its novel engineered components, including the knockout of CD38 and the expression of IL-15/IL-15R fusion protein, which were shown to improve metabolic fitness, increase resistance to oxidative stress, and induce transcription of proteins that control NK cell activation and effector function. The data were published in Cell Stem Cell in an online article entitled “Harnessing features of adaptive NK cells to generate iPSC-derived NK cells for enhanced immunotherapy”.

Steve Shum, CEO of INVO Bioscience, commented, “We believe Canada offers an excellent opportunity to further expand our distribution efforts of INVOcell while also advancing our joint-venture based INVO Center model. With roughly 16% (or 1 in 6) couples in Canada experiencing infertility, a number that has doubled since the 1980s, and with a popultion of 37.74 million, Canada represents a sizable market opportunity. Canada also faces similar issues that hamper other parts of the world, including a large underserved population, access/capacity constraints and affordability challenges. We appreciate the key individuals in Canada that originally created this entity to help promote and bring our INVOcell technology into the marketplace and look forward to bringing greater resources to advance this effort. We anticipate this acquisition will serve as a platform to help accelerate building INVOcell’s presence in Canada.”

    • On September 7th,  INVO Bioscience announced that it has officially opened the Company’s 2nd INVO Center in the United States, based in Atlanta, Georgia after recently opening their first in Birmingham, AL called “Innovative Fertility Specialists, An INVO Center” on August 9th.

    • On August 16th, INVO announced their financial and operating results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2021 and provided a business update. Steve Shum , CEO of INVO stated. “Our team made excellent progress during the second quarter of 2021 toward our key objectives, headlined by last week’s official opening of our first INVO Center practice in Birmingham, AlabamaWe feel INVO is now well positioned for success based on the following core foundational elements developed over the past 2 years. We believe there is a substantial underserved patient population with infertility challenges and a real need to expand access to treatment. In our opinion, this is a multi-billion-dollar market expansion opportunity, and INVOcell is well positioned to address the unmet medical need.”
    • On Aug.2, INVO announced the Company’s first Joint Venture INVO Center practice in the United States, based in Birmingham, Alabama, was officially opening on August 9, 2021. Dr. Hammond commented, “With the opening of the country’s first INVOcell medical practice, we are advancing a core mission towards improving access to advanced fertility services for the many patients who would otherwise never have the opportunity. To date, we have already received numerous advanced inquiries via word of mouth and have dozens of patients scheduled for initial patient consultations who are eager to proceed with treatment. As we officially open the center next week, we expect to accelerate our marketing programs with the help of the INVO marketing team to enhance overall patient awareness around Innovative Fertility Specialists, An INVO Center.”
    • Over the past 40+ years, since the first IVF baby was born, the fertility market has grown into a $20+ billion global industry. Here in the U.S., according to the most recent 2019 CDC data, approximately 330,000 IVF cycles were performed across 448 clinics, which implies a roughly $5 billion domestic marketplace. However, this represents only a small portion of the actual market as approximately 90% of infertile couples go untreated each year. There are some real challenges with bridging the gap of treating the volume of patients that need care. Patient affordability and lack of insurance coverage is often the most discussed dynamic, but that is only one part of the challenge. We believe that there is an equal or even greater challenge related to capacity limitations in the industry given the relatively small number of IVF clinics and limited human resources available which are typically only available in major metropolitan areas. We believe that INVO Biosceince’s INVOcell, without the need of expensive lab build outs, can bring much needed capacity additions and access to the market beyond the major metropolitan areas at a more affordable price.

Dr. Steven Quay, Atossa’s President and Chief Executive Officer stated, “Our progress in both the Endoxifen and COVID-19 programs, with our initiation of our trial in Australia for AT-H201, and our receipt of regulatory authorization in Sweden to commence an Endoxifen Phase 2 trial, have been key recent milestones, positioning us to move both of these programs forward and take the next steps toward developing therapies in urgent unmet patient needs. Further, our strong balance sheet will continue to facilitate our development plans as we not only execute on these trials but also explore additional options that could create significant shareholder value,” Review the balance of the story here. 
    • On October 21, Atossa Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: ATOS) released a short video message recognizing Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and urging women to get mammograms. In the video message, which can be found on Atossa’s website here, Dr. Quay cites that the global pandemic “changed everything” with regard to breast cancer screening, indicating that many women have ceased to seek out their mammograms since the initial COVID-19 outbreak. This is corroborated in an article in the October 2021 issue of the peer-reviewed medical journal, Preventative Medicine, which indicated this was a particular problem in women of color and those who fall in the lower income brackets.
    • On September 30, Atossa announced it has begun to enroll participants in its clinical study of AT-H201 in Australia. The nebulized formulation, AT-H201, is being developed as an inhalation therapy for moderately to severely-ill hospitalized COVID-19 patients and for “long-haul” patients with post-infection pulmonary disease. “Even with vaccines becoming widely available, the COVID-19 pandemic continues to be an urgent global health crisis,” said Steven Quay, M.D., Ph.D., Atossa’s CEO and President. “Enrolling the first two participants in this study marks a significant milestone in our goal of ultimately developing nebulized AT-H201 to improve lung function in patients with active disease, which may reduce the number of patients requiring ventilators, and in ‘long-haul’ patients who have residual pulmonary function damage. Up to one third of hospitalized patients have pulmonary function changes 60 days or more after recovering from COVID. The portability of nebulizers, already routinely used for other chronic lung disease, should allow for treatment at home.”

As we actively explore the possibility for strategic expansion into other areas where we might see near-term milestones and results, we also urge all of our shareholders to exercise their right to vote at our special stockholder’s meeting on September 7, 2021. We urge a vote in favor of the proposal to increase authorized shares, which will provide the Company with the flexibility to issue shares as part of these potential acquisitions, collaborations and partnerships, a common strategy successful biotech companies seeking to grow shareholder value employ in order to create a more attractive opportunity for all. We look forward to continuing to update our stockholders on these opportunities as they develop,” stated Dr. Steven Quay, Atossa’s President and Chief Executive Officer.
