With Fresh Funding and Strong Phase 3 Data, PolyPid Advances Towards FDA Approval

Global Markets News

PolyPid Ltd. (NASDAQ: PYPD) * announced Tuesday that it has secured $26.7 million through warrant exercises following its successful SHIELD II Phase 3 trial results. This funding milestone extends the company’s runway beyond the anticipated FDA approval of its breakthrough surgical infection prevention technology, D-PLEX₁₀₀. For savvy biotech investors seeking undervalued opportunities with near-term catalysts, PolyPid presents a compelling case study in market inefficiency and potential outsized returns. A David Taking On a $10 Billion Goliath Surgical site infections (SSIs) represent a massive burden on healthcare systems, costing hospitals tens of thousands of dollars per incident while significantly increasing patient mortality. The $10 billion SSI prevention market has long awaited innovation beyond traditional antibiotic approaches. Enter PolyPid’s proprietary PLEX (Polymer-Lipid Encapsulation matriX) platform, which delivers targeted antibiotics directly at surgical sites for a full 30 days—dramatically longer than conventional methods that typically provide only hours of protection. “D-PLEX₁₀₀ demonstrated a statistically significant reduction in surgical site infections and successfully met the study’s primary endpoint and all key secondary endpoints,” the company stated in its announcement of the Phase 3 SHIELD II trial results. Most impressively, in patients with large surgical incisions, earlier SHIELD I data showed a remarkable 54% reduction (p=0.0032) in the composite endpoint of infections, reinterventions, and mortality compared to standard of care alone. The more recent SHIELD II trial demonstrated an even more stunning 58% reduction in surgical site infections, dropping infection rates from 9.5% with standard care to just 3.8% when D-PLEX100 was added. Why This $36M Company Could Soon Command a Valuation in the Hundreds of Millions Despite delivering transformative clinical results, PolyPid currently trades around $3.53 per share (as of June 18, 2025), representing a market cap of approximately $36 million – a significant discount to comparable companies in the surgical and pain management sectors, many of which command valuations in the hundreds of millions to over $1 billion. This valuation disconnect creates a potential opportunity for investors ahead of multiple catalysts: 1. NDA Submission in Early 2026: The company expects to file its New Drug Application in early 2026, leveraging Fast Track and Breakthrough Therapy designations already granted by the FDA. 2. Medicare’s New Technology Add-On Payment Eligibility: D-PLEX₁₀₀ qualifies for this program, potentially providing up to 75% reimbursement during early commercialization years. 3. U.S. Partnership Discussions: Management noted during a recent call that there has been “a change in partnering interest following December’s interim analysis,” with large pharmaceutical and medical device companies representing logical partners. 4. Substantial Market Opportunity: With 12 million eligible surgeries annually in the U.S. alone and another 8 million in Europe, D-PLEX₁₀₀’s market potential is substantial. 5. European Partnership Already Secured: PolyPid has secured a European commercialization partnership with Advanz Pharma worth up to $115 million plus double-digit royalties. The newly secured $26.7 million adds to PolyPid’s existing capital resources. With this additional funding, the company has stated that its runway would be extended beyond anticipated FDA approval of D-PLEX₁₀₀. Beyond D-PLEX₁₀₀: Platform Technology Offers Additional Growth Potential While D-PLEX₁₀₀ drives immediate value creation, PolyPid’s broader PLEX platform provides significant growth opportunities beyond surgical infections. Their OncoPLEX program applies identical technology principles to deliver cancer therapeutics directly to tumor sites, potentially revolutionizing solid tumor treatment approaches. A recent collaboration with ImmunoGenesis validates the platform’s broader applications beyond surgical infections. According to recent analyst reports, Wall Street remains bullish on PolyPid. H.C. Wainwright recently raised their price target to $13 (from $11), while analysts from JMP Securities and Craig-Hallum have maintained Buy ratings. On June 5, 2025, Roth MKM initiated coverage with a Buy rating. The consensus among Wall Street professionals points to price targets ranging from $10-13, suggesting significant upside potential from current levels. The Bottom Line For investors seeking opportunities with clear catalysts, PolyPid represents a compelling combination of transformative clinical results, definitive regulatory pathway, and strong Wall Street support. With clinical risk substantially reduced following successful Phase 3 results and a regulatory submission timeline now established, the focus shifts to commercial execution and partnership value creation—potentially setting the stage for significant share price appreciation as these milestones materialize. The company’s notable discount to peers, extended cash runway, and multiple near-term value drivers make it an intriguing opportunity for biotech investors looking for undervalued assets with clear paths to value creation.

CURE ALZHEIMER’S FUND PRESENTS THE JEFFREY L. MORBY PRIZE FOR EXCEPTIONAL RESEARCH

Alzheimer’s Disease Research Foundation

Cure Alzheimer’s Fund, a nonprofit dedicated to funding the most promising research to prevent, slow or reverse Alzheimer’s disease (AD), has announced the recipients of the second annual Jeffrey L. Morby Prize. Senior author Andrew S. Yoo, Ph.D., and first author Zhao Sun, Ph.D., both of Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, were selected by their peers for their paper “ Modeling late-onset Alzheimer’s disease neuropathology via direct neuronal reprogramming,” published in Science in August 2024. The Morby Prize is named in honor of the late Co-Founder of Cure Alzheimer’s Fund, Jeffrey L. Morby, who inspired the nonprofit’s mission 20 years ago to fund research as a path to ending Alzheimer’s disease. Mr. Morby passed away in September 2023. Established in 2024, the Morby Prize will be awarded annually to the senior and first authors of a recent scientific publication that transforms the fundamental understanding of Alzheimer’s disease and opens new paths to translate scientific results into effective ways to prevent, diagnose or treat the disease. This year’s award included $200,000 for the senior author’s lab for Alzheimer’s disease-related research. “Honoring researchers whose work is determined by their peers as breakthrough thinking and having meaningful impact on the Alzheimer’s community is a fitting tribute to Jeff’s remarkable legacy of empowering scientists to pursue rigorous and innovative research,” said Meg Smith, CEO of Cure Alzheimer’s Fund. “The many extraordinary CureAlz-funded projects that resulted in published papers in 2023 and 2024 made the competition for this award fierce, and the endorsement of this paper by their peers speaks to the importance of the work of Drs. Yoo and Sun and their co-authors.” The paper describes a groundbreaking method to study aged neurons in the lab without requiring a brain biopsy, enabling more accurate modeling of late-onset Alzheimer’s disease. By transforming skin cells from patients directly into neurons that reflect the aging process, scientists now can observe key disease features, such as amyloid beta plaque buildup, offering new insights into Alzheimer’s disease development and potential treatment approaches. “With the demonstration that direct neuronal reprogramming can model neuropathological features of late-onset Alzheimer’s disease, this method will enable us to dissect how aging, as the primary risk factor, contributes to neurodegeneration,” said Dr. Yoo. “Moreover, the generous support from the Jeffrey L. Morby Prize will further allow us to develop reprogramming approaches to generate different neuronal subtypes and investigate neuron-intrinsic aging mechanisms in the context of specific cell types. We are excited about the possibility of delineating the mechanisms by which different neuronal subtypes become vulnerable or resilient to AD with aging.” About The Yoo Lab Andrew S. Yoo, Ph.D., is a distinguished neuroscientist and professor in the Department of Developmental Biology at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. His lab focuses on microRNAs as neurogenic genetic inputs and reprogramming effectors to generate human neurons by directly reprogramming non-neural somatic cells. Using this approach, his team investigates how aging in human neurons contributes to the adult- and late-onset of neurodegeneration employing neurons derived from individuals with various neurodegenerative disorders. About Cure Alzheimer's Fund Cure Alzheimer’s Fund is a nonprofit dedicated to funding the most promising research to prevent, slow or reverse Alzheimer’s disease. Since its founding in 2004, Cure Alzheimer’s Fund has provided 971 grants to more than 300 of the world’s leading researchers and contributed more than $232 million to research. Its funded initiatives have been responsible for many key breakthroughs in understanding the causes and pathology of Alzheimer’s disease. Cure Alzheimer’s Fund has achieved a 100% perfect score and a Four-Star rating for 13 consecutive years from Charity Navigator. Cure Alzheimer’s Fund also received a Platinum Seal of Transparency from Candid, formerly known as GuideStar. Our Board of Directors, Trustees and a core group of other donors direct their donations to our overhead expenses so that 100% of general donations go to our research program.

BiomX Stock Could Soar 3000% As This $10M Biotech Cracks The 'Superbug' Code, Wall Street Says

Global Markets News

BiomX Inc. (NYSE: PHGE)* has achieved what Big Pharma couldn't accomplish in over 20 years — successful clinical trials using viruses to treat life-threatening infections that no longer respond to antibiotics. The $10 million biotech has reported positive Phase 2 results in diabetic foot bone infections, a condition so challenging that no new drugs have been approved for it in two decades. Meanwhile, their cystic fibrosis program showed 14% of patients completely cleared chronic lung infections after just 10 days of treatment. Approximately 160,000 lower limb amputations occur annually in diabetic patients in the U.S., with 85% caused by diabetic foot infections or diabetic foot osteomyelitis — creating an $8 billion annual healthcare burden according to company data. Current treatments rely on antibiotics that increasingly fail due to resistance, often leaving amputation as the only option. Clinical Breakthroughs Across Two Major Programs BiomX's March 2025 Phase 2 results in diabetic foot osteomyelitis from 41 patients delivered notable outcomes. The company achieved statistically significant percent area reduction of ulcer size, with p-values of 0.046 at week 12 and 0.052 at week 13. The treatment showed separation from placebo starting at week 7, with differences greater than 40% by week 10. BiomX also demonstrated statistically significant improvements in ulcer depth and reducing ulcer area expansion, while BX211 was safe and well-tolerated throughout the study. The company's cystic fibrosis program has been equally impressive. In their Phase 1b/2a study, 14.3% of patients converted to sputum culture negative for P. aeruginosa after 10 days of treatment, compared to 0% in the placebo group. One patient had been infected for 35 years before achieving complete clearance. The FDA has granted this program both Fast Track designation and Orphan Drug Designation, potentially accelerating the approval pathway. BiomX's approach uses bacteriophages — viruses that naturally target and kill specific bacteria — instead of traditional antibiotics that bacteria can develop resistance against. The company has overseen more than 50 compassionate use cases with no significant side effects to date. Military Validation and Wall Street's Bullish Take The U.S. Defense Health Agency has provided $40 million in non-dilutive funding to BiomX's diabetic foot program, representing significant validation of the technology. "They're seeing soldiers coming out of the Ukraine war with extremely antibiotic-resistant infections," CEO Jonathan Solomon said during the company's May 2025 earnings call. Despite the clinical progress and military backing, BiomX trades at approximately $10 million market cap — a disconnect0 that has caught Wall Street's attention. H.C. Wainwright maintains a Buy rating with a $15 price target, representing potential upside of over 3000% from recent levels around $0.4 Laidlaw & Company rates the stock Buy with a $16 price target, suggesting almost 4000% upside potential. Laidlaw analyst Yale Jen called the recent data "an absolutely positive surprise" and characterized BX211 as "a high value and clinically de-risked asset." The analysts' optimism stems from the clinical validation across both programs, massive addressable markets, and limited competition in the phage therapy space. Major Catalysts on the Horizon BiomX estimates addressable markets exceeding $2.5 billion globally for their diabetic foot program and $1.6 billion for cystic fibrosis based on patient populations and potential pricing benchmarks. The company expects to have sufficient funding through Q1 2026, aligning with anticipated BX004 Phase 2b results in cystic fibrosis. Key upcoming catalysts include the Phase 2b readout for their cystic fibrosis program expected in Q1 2026, ongoing Phase 2/3 trial discussions with the FDA for their diabetic foot program, and potential regulatory meetings in the second half of 2025. The company is also exploring partnership opportunities as the phage therapy space attracts increasing attention from large pharmaceutical companies. With validated clinical data, military funding, and Wall Street price targets suggesting potential returns exceeding 3000%, BiomX could offer investors exposure to phage therapy as a potential new approach to treating antibiotic-resistant infections. As the global antibiotic resistance crisis intensifies, the company's nature-based approach to killing bacteria positions it at an interesting inflection point in infectious disease treatment.

Medicus Pharma Ltd. (NASDAQ: MDCX) Positioned for Growth in a $5 Trillion Biotech Market

Medicus Pharma Ltd (MDCX)

The global population is aging rapidly, with the number of people aged 65 and older expected to double by 2050. This demographic shift is driving a surge in chronic diseases such as cancer, autoimmune disorders, and cardiovascular conditions. At the same time, breakthroughs in biomedical research are enabling the development of targeted, more effective therapies, transforming treatment approaches in both human and veterinary medicine. These twin forces, rising demand fueled by aging and disease prevalence along with technological innovation, are propelling unprecedented growth across biopharma markets. The global biotechnology sector is projected to expand from $1.74 trillion in 2025 to over $5 trillion by 2034, representing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.5 percent. Specialty pharmaceuticals, including biologics and novel drug delivery systems, are expected to grow even faster, with forecasts predicting a 26.5 percent CAGR over the same period. Oncology remains a key driver, with spending on cancer medicines forecasted to nearly double from $252 billion in 2024 to $441 billion by 2029. Meanwhile, veterinary oncology is emerging as a high-potential frontier, with the U.S. market alone projected to reach $1.48 billion by 2030, driven by rising pet ownership and demand for advanced care. The urology therapeutics segment also shows steady growth potential, expected to rise from $10.5 billion in 2024 to $15.8 billion by 2033. Amid this expansive and interconnected landscape, Medicus Pharma Ltd. (NASDAQ: MDCX) is methodically positioning itself to capitalize on these powerful market tailwinds. Through a diversified portfolio of innovative drug delivery platforms and targeted therapies, Medicus addresses some of the most pressing health challenges across human and veterinary medicine. Medicus Pharma: Methodically Building a High-Leverage Growth Story Though still flying under many investors’ radars, Medicus Pharma is rapidly assembling the elements of a high-leverage growth story. On June 2, the company completed a $7 million public offering, selling 2,260,000 units at $3.10 each. Each unit includes one common share plus one warrant exercisable at the same price over five years. The capital will primarily fund a Phase 2 proof-of-concept trial in basal cell carcinoma (BCC) using Medicus’s flagship doxorubicin-loaded dissolvable microneedle patch (D-MNA). Additional funds may support broader development in non-melanoma skin cancers or other pipeline programs. Strategic Veterinary Expansion: FDA Submission for Equine Squamous Cell Carcinoma This timely financing was quickly followed by a major regulatory milestone. On June 9, Medicus announced submission of a formal product development plan to the U.S. FDA for a veterinary application of D-MNA targeting equine squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). The program is advancing under an Investigational New Animal Drug (INAD) file, aiming for conditional approval. It leverages the same microneedle patch technology used in human dermatologic trials, demonstrating a strategic effort to repurpose clinical data and technology across human and veterinary markets. Tapping an Untapped Veterinary Oncology Opportunity The equine indication represents a significant market opportunity. As CEO Dr. Raza Bokhari highlighted, “In veterinary medicine, where only a handful of oncology drugs are approved, developing a non-invasive treatment for equine SCC targets a largely unmet need, a potential $250 million market.” The planned study will enroll 50 horses across five U.S. sites in a placebo-controlled design, comparing two D-MNA doses against placebo, with tumor response assessed at day 90. Medicus has secured FDA Minor Use in Major Species (MUMS) Designation, which grants seven years of market exclusivity upon approval, a valuable commercial advantage in a segment with limited competition. D-MNA Platform: Promising Safety and Efficacy Data The D-MNA patch, originally developed for human skin cancers, is supported by encouraging early data. A Phase 1 trial in Australia (SKNJCT-001) involving 13 patients with nodular BCC showed the treatment was well tolerated with no dose-limiting toxicities. Remarkably, 46 percent of lesions achieved complete histological clearance after a single application, an impressive result given the minimally invasive delivery. This platform delivers doxorubicin directly into the dermis through a biodegradable microneedle array, minimizing systemic exposure while concentrating the drug’s effect at the tumor site. Expanding Clinical Trials Across Continents Building on this foundation, Medicus is running two Phase 2 trials. In the U.S., the SKNJCT-003 study recently expanded enrollment from 60 to 90 patients following a positive interim analysis that showed over 60 percent clinical clearance. This multicenter, placebo-controlled trial compares the patch to the standard of care, with European sites now joining due to growing investigator interest. Concurrently, the SKNJCT-004 trial in the United Arab Emirates involves 36 patients across four hospitals, including Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi, targeting both histological and clinical clearance endpoints. Strategic Acquisition: Entering Late-Stage Urology Complementing its internal pipeline, Medicus is also positioning itself as a consolidator of high-value assets. In April, the company signed a binding letter of intent to acquire UK-based Antev Ltd., whose lead candidate, Teverelix, is a GnRH antagonist in late-stage development for two urology indications: acute urinary retention (AUR) due to benign prostatic hyperplasia and hormone-sensitive prostate cancer in patients at elevated cardiovascular risk. These combined markets represent a $6 billion annual opportunity, and Teverelix has completed multiple clinical trials in Europe. Under the deal, Antev shareholders would receive approximately 19 percent of Medicus’s post-merger equity, plus up to $65 million in milestone payments tied to regulatory and commercial successes. A Platform With Multiple Growth Levers Together, Medicus offers optionality and platform leverage across human oncology, veterinary medicine, and dermatology, all fields marked by limited innovation and strong pricing power. Its lead asset is already in Phase 2 with international trial sites and active FDA engagement. The veterinary program offers a faster commercialization path with fewer regulatory barriers, while the Antev acquisition could propel Medicus into late-stage, multi-billion-dollar indications. Why Investors Should Watch MDCX Medicus Pharma (NASDAQ: MDCX) paints the picture of a small-cap biotech transitioning from concept to execution. The recent capital raise was non-dilutive and immediately followed by a key regulatory filing. Clinical trials across humans and animals are expanding, and a transformative acquisition is imminent. With a methodical approach tying together clinical progress, intellectual property, and market strategy, Medicus is quietly building momentum, making MDCX a stock to watch closely in the second half of 2025.

Inspira Technologies Receives $2 Price Target and Buy Rating: Everything You Need to Know

Global Markets News

Litchfield Hills Research has initiated coverage of Inspira Technologies OXY B.H.N. Ltd. (NASDAQ: IINN)* with a Buy rating and a $2 price target, representing potential upside of over 225% from current trading levels of around $0.61 per share. This bullish outlook comes as the medical technology company continues to critical care technology addressing what the analyst describes as "a medical need without good options." The analyst notes that mechanical ventilators are "WWII technology in desperate need of an upgrade" with reports showing that 30% to 50% of ICU patients don't survive. Unlike mechanical ventilation, Inspira's ART500 technology would enable patients to remain awake during treatment while stabilizing oxygen levels without intubation and coma. What distinguishes Inspira from typical early-stage medical device companies is its proven regulatory execution and early commercial success. The company's first generation technology, the INSPIRA ART100 system, received FDA clearance in May 2024 and is already deployed in leading U.S. hospitals. The excitement around this technology reached a new high in April 2025 when the first successful patient treatment was completed at Westchester Medical Center. The commercial momentum seems to be accelerating. Inspira announced it received payment in the "low hundreds of thousands of dollars" from its U.S. distributor for delivered systems, marking the company's first revenues. CEO Dagi Ben-Noon called this "a transformative milestone for Inspira as we establish our presence in the U.S. medical landscape." The company has now initiated global commercial rollout discussions and expects additional deliveries in the second half of 2025. Central to Inspira's technology platform is the AI-powered HYLA blood sensor, which recently achieved 96% accuracy in clinical studies at Sheba Medical Center, one of the world's top hospitals. The system provides continuous monitoring without requiring blood draws, targeting the blood gas analyzer market projected to reach $5.7 billion by 2030. The analyst identifies massive market opportunities, with the global mechanical ventilators market expected to reach $20.69 billion by 2034. Inspira's flagship INSPIRA ART500 system in development aims to disrupt this market by providing respiratory support through direct blood oxygenation rather than forcing air into damaged lungs. Inspira has established strong intellectual property protection with multiple U.S. patents and novel patent claims protecting its core technologies. The company is executing a strategic approach of securing FDA clearance for individual components before integrating them into comprehensive systems. When comparing Inspira to similar medical device companies, the analyst found the stock trades at significant discounts despite having FDA-cleared technology already treating patients. The $2 price target reflects confidence in the company's ability to capitalize on its early commercial success and expand into the massive mechanical ventilation market. The analyst concludes that Inspira may represents a unique opportunity, combining proven FDA-cleared technology with substantial market opportunity and attractive valuation metrics in the high-growth medical device sector.
