In addition to the companies you listed, I suggest you look at the British biotech firm Amarin (AMRN - Last Trade: 0.68 Change: -0.025). AMRN has ongoing Phase II clinical testing of Miraxion and AMR-101 both for the treatment of Parkinson's Disease.
Amarin recently dropped more than 85 percent on poor statistical results in Phase III tests of Miraxion for Huntington's disease.
After an 85% drop the stock bears watching because they have 4 other drugs in their pipeline that are on track, 29 million dollars cash, no debt and they have 30% insider and 25% institutional ownership.
Management will be providing an update to investors on the progress, plans and timelines for Amarin’s pipeline of products at two upcoming investor conferences. Rodman & Renshaw on May 15th and Banc of America on June 1st. Both of these investor presentations will be webcast so you can listen in. More information about the specifics of the webcasts will be issued in advance of each conference.
Full Disclosure: I own AMRN.
