Leading pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies chose INTERPHEX 2017 to launch their newest products, with 20 companies debuting new technology at the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry trade show held March 21-23 at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in New York City.

In its 38th year, INTERPHEX offered attendees a mix of content including more than 104 conference education sessions, INTERPHEX Live discussions, hundreds of exhibits and product launches.

The show experienced attendee growth, compared with 2016, and attributes much of that to its robust program.

INTERPHEX offers its customers the opportunity to bring their entire teams and engage in education for everyone, said Melissa Ashley, senior vice president of INTERPHEX.

She continued, Attendance is free to those who register ahead to support the industry and allow companies full teams to experience all that is happening in the industry.

Having grown and evolved from a regional to a national and international event, INTERPHEX selected New York as its home because the city is a gateway that allows people to come from abroad and because there are a lot of customers in the tri-state area.

INTERPHEX is reflective of the industry advancing to the future, with organizers working to ensure the needs of technology companies are on display.

Still, the biotechnology industry is slower to change than some industries because it is heavily regulated, according to Kate Scott McCorriston, director of marketing and technical content for INTERPHEX.

The regulations mean people need to attend to learn about new guidance and regulations, McCorriston explained.

She added, Young professionals need to attend to learn how to manufacture new products within regulations and cost-effectively.

Unique features such as INTERPHEX Live keep attendees engaged.

Unlike standard panels or lectures or even exhibitor-led education, INTERPHEX Live discussions allow participants to ask questions and engage in a direct dialogue with experts, with sessions taking place out in the open and not far from registration, making it easy for people to join the discussions.

In addition, INTERPHEX organizers solicit customer feedback to make sure they are hitting the mark with show programming.

We ask, who do they want more of and what research do they need? Ashley said.

She continued, Then, we put that information together with feedback from our technical advisory board in order to create the best program we can.

In addition to showcasing the latest technology, the show itself uses a lot of technology to provide the best experience for attendees and exhibitors, including online matchmaking tools pre-show so that attendees can customize their experience and understand who they want to target before they arrive.

The show invested in a lead retrieval tool that helps exhibitors really know who they are talking to as well.

We want people to engage, not just walk up and down the aisles and leave, Ashley explained.

The goal of INTERPHEXs show organizers was to reach more attendees using the technology they had available, and it appears they got their wish, with a positive response to those tools.

INTERPHEX is sponsored by the Parenteral Drug Association (PDA) and brings over 11,500 global industry professionals and more than 625 industry-leading suppliers together to Learn it, Experience it, Procure it annually.

INTERPHEX 2018 will take place April 19-21 at the Javits Center.

20 New Biotechnology Products Debut at INTERPHEX 2017 - TSNN Trade Show News (blog)

March 31, 2017 9:38am NASDAQ:BBC

From Zacks: After being stressed by the twin attacks of higher drug pricing and increased regulatory scrutiny, the biotech sector has made a strong comeback in the first quarter of 2017.

In fact, BioShares Biotechnology Clinical Trials ETF (BBC Free Report) tops the list of the best performing ETFs of the quarter, with impressive returns of about 27.4%. BBC carries a Zacks ETF Rank of 3 or Hold rating with a High risk outlook.

The surge in the fund was largely driven by cheap valuation, robust earnings results and a slew of positive actions taken by the President. In particular, Trump promised to reduce federal regulations by 7580% and streamline the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) approval process. This would make it easier for biotech companies to bring new products to the market. Trumps proposed tax reforms and cash repatriation policy are also supporting the rally (read: Top ETF Stories of Q1 from Wall Street).

Apart from these, encouraging industry trends including the possibility of increased M&A activity, an accelerated pace of innovation, promising drug launches, growing importance of biosimilars, cost-cutting efforts, an aging population, expanding insurance coverage, the growing middle class, an insatiable demand for new drugs, and ever-increasing health care spending are fueling growth in the sector.

Lets take a closer look at the fundamentals of BBC and its performance.

BBC in Focus

This fund has a novel approach to biotechnology investing with exposure to companies that are in the clinical trials stage. This can easily be done by tracking the LifeSci Biotechnology Clinical Trials Index. BBC is a small cap centric fund, having amassed $24.4 million in its asset base. It charges 85 bps in fees per year from investors and trades in light average daily volume of around 14,000 shares.

Holding 70 stocks in its basket, it is widely spread out across various components with none holding more than 3.34% share. Though almost all the stocks in the funds portfolio delivered strong returns, a few were the real stars that more than doubled their size (read: Hit ETFs & Stocks from the Top Sector of February).

Shares of Cellect Biotechnology Ltd. (APOP) are up more than 44% over the last 5 trading days.

With its shares currently traded on both the NASDAQ and Tel Aviv Stock Exchange, Cellect is the company behind ApoGraft, a breakthrough technology for the isolation of stem cells from any given tissue.

Cellect's ApoGraft technology is aiming to turn stem cell transplants into a simple, safe and cost effective process, reducing the associated severe side effects, such as rejection and many other risks, such as Graft versus Host Disease.

Graft versus Host Disease, a condition in which the transplanted immune cells attack the recipient's cells, is a common complication associated with *allogeneic stem cell transplantation. (*Allogeneic stem cell transplantation involves transferring the stem cells to the recipient from a genetically matched relative or other donor).

The positive results from a clinical trial of ApoGraft that involved 104 healthy donors of blood stem cells reported in February of this year demonstrated that Cellect's ApoGraft is a safe, robust and reproducible process for clinical use.

According to the company, the use of the ApoGraft to process human stem cells for bone marrow transplantation resulted in a significant increase in the death of mature immune cells, primarily T Lymphocytes, without compromising the quantity and quality of stem cells. The process takes only a few hours as compared to days of complex and expansive lab work with traditional methods, is anticipated to be extremely cost effective in comparison to current approaches, and has the potential to significantly reduce the risk of GvHD.

The first blood cancer patient was treated in a phase I/II trial of ApoGraft in February of this year, and on March 27th, the company announced that the first stem cell transplant procedure has been successfully performed.

With the first stem cell transplant procedure being successful, Cellect has received the go-ahead from the independent Data and Safety Monitoring Board for enrolling additional 2 cancer patients for ApoGraft transplantation treatments.

The study is designed to enroll 12 patients.

Key Financials:

- Net loss for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2016 was $0.75 million or $0.007 per share compared to a net loss of $0.96 million or $0.012 per share in Q4, 2015.

- Cash totaled $8.0 million at December 31, 2016 compared to $3.1 million on December 31, 2015.

- The number of shares outstanding is 107.58 million (Data sourced from Yahoo Finance).

In order to maximize the value of the Company for all stakeholders, Cellect plans to delist from the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange (TASE) in accordance with section 350 to the Israeli Company Law.

Shares of Cellect Biotechnology touched an all-time intra-day high of $13.50 on Mar.27, 2017 on the NASDAQ. The stock closed yesterday's trading at $8.98, up 2.75%.

Prana Biotechnology Limited (ADR) (NASDAQ:PRAN)

Prana Biotechnology Limited (ADR) (NASDAQ:PRAN) shares have been up over 80% on large volumes. PRAN closed yesterday at $2.48, gapped up to open at $2.95, reached an inter-day high of $4.58, and are now trading around $3.60 for an inter-day gain of over 45%. The nano-cap Australian-based biotech firm has, prior to todays action, an average daily trading volume of just over 59,000 but, by 10:30 AM EST, PRAN shares had already traded over 7.1 million times. A review of news services reveals that no news has been reported by the company or an analyst that could account for todays price action.

Prana Biotechnology Limited (ADR) (NASDAQ:PRAN) is a clinical stage biotechnology firm that develops therapeutic medicines. Prana has developed PBT-2 for the treatment of Alzheimers disease. PBT-2 is currently in a Phase IIa clinical trial. Pranas PBT-2 is also being investigated for applications involving other therapeutic applications including age-related cataracts, Huntington disease, Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, Motor Neuron disease, age-related macular degeneration, cancers, Parkinsons disease, and other neurodegenerative diseases.

When PRAN is adjusted for dilutive effects, the shares high came in early 2014 when PRAN was trading near $80/share. However, by the end of 2014, PRAN shares would end up down over 74%. Dilution, EPS losses, and weak sales figures have plagued the shares. Prana Biotechnology Limited (ADR) (NASDAQ:PRAN) have reported sales of $100,000 every year since 2012 except for 2014 when the company reported a figure of $300,000. EPS losses have been noteworthy. In 2012 the EPS loss for shares holders of PRAN was -$5.00, followed by annual EPS losses of-$6.31, -$8.55, -$3.21, and -$3.98 in 2016. There has also been consistent dilution for PRN shareholders. In 2012 the number of outstanding shares was 800,000 and that number grew annually and in 2016 the number was 1.48 million. Given Prana Biotechnology Limited (ADR) (NASDAQ:PRAN) market cap of only $23 million and its lack of sales, no analysts have reviewed the companys share ratings since 2014.

Technology and biotechnology stocks once again top our list of momentum charts to watch.

Achaogen Inc. AKAO, -2.26% had an important snapback session on Tuesday, gaining $2.12, or 9.7%, to $23.90 on over 2 million shares traded. The move came on news that venture capitalist Robert Duggan disclosed a 5.7% stake in the late-stage biopharmaceutical company. Volume was the strongest on an up-day all year, and the stock has now bounced off rising trendline support after a 10-day pullback from the top of the channel to the bottom. If the stock can get through resistance, which is now up around Tuesdays high at $24.46, it could challenge recent highs around $26.75-$27.75 on the way to the top of the channel at over $30.

Cara Therapeutics Inc. CARA, -7.36% had a nice follow-through on Tuesday, jumping 94 cents, or 5%, to $19.09, on 7.6 million shares traded. The biotech company reported positive results in a trial of a treatment for uremic pruritus, or UP. The stock reached $20.24 intraday, the highest its been since September 2015. It came down in the afternoon and didnt close great, but from the standpoint of the daily pattern as well technicals and volume, the stock looks strong. It has climbed nicely off rising trendline support toward mid-channel in the past two weeks. The stock needs to hold lateral support at around $17.50. A move through Tuesdays high could lead to $23 short-term and $27 intermediate-term.

Kopin Corp. KOPN, -0.24% maker of wearable technologies and display products, had nice action on Tuesday, especially in the afternoon when it ran from about $3.90 to $4.19, backing off a little at the close. Net on the day, it gained 8 cents, or 2%, to $4.11 on strong volume of 643,000 shares. Volume has been strong in general in the past few weeks, indicating possible accumulation, and Tuesday saw the stock edge above its breakout point at around $4.09. Watch for $4.75 and then $5-$5.25 as targets.

Nektar Therapeutics NKTR, -3.93% had a breakout session on Tuesday, up 55 cents, or 2%, to $23.93 on 1.7 million shares. The company announced on Monday it has begun dosing in a Phase 1 study of its new biologic therapy to treat auto-immune diseases and inflammatory disorders. The move broke the stock out of a week-long consolidation zone that followed its nearly 50% gap up on March 20. The move came on only average volume. Nonetheless, watch for a run at $26 short-term.

Western Digital Corp. WDC, +2.90% is on the move. Stock in the data-storage company has been up five days in a row since its March 21 close at $73.22. Investors appear to have been encouraged by Micron Technologys MU, +1.65% strong quarterly forecast late last week, and optimism about memory and storage chip demand. On Tuesday, WDC gained $1.99, or 2.5%, to $80.56, on nearly 4 million shares traded. The stock is right at a lateral resistance level, and a pop through there could get it to $86-$87 and then the channel top near $95.

It would seem that the toxicity that the iShares Nasdaq Biotechnology Index (ETF) (NASDAQ:IBB) were suffering on Wall Street is waning. Until recently, the political headlines were a threat to all healthcare and biotech stock holders.The thesis that biotech stocks are untouchable, however, is no longer the dark cloud that it was.

So can I buy the IBB long from here with confidence? Not in my opinion. I think that trading the IBB should fit into a bullish macro scenario, which we may no longer have. Equity markets are near all-time highs with few catalysts that are not yet priced in. Traders quickly priced in the fiscal spending and legislative advantage that President Trump promised. This week we saw the first promise die, so the onus is now on the bulls to prove they can deliver the rest.

Click to EnlargeSo to say the least, the perfectly bullish scenario has some rebuilding to do. This creates an opportunity to take a short-term bearish bet on the IBB. I can do this without spending any out-of-pocket money.

Before you label me a bear, I am merely shorting the near-term price action and not the fundamentals of any components within the IBB. In fact, I will leverage their value to pay for my bet.

The Trade: Buy the IBB June $280/$275 debit put spread for $1.30. This is a bearish trade that could triple my money if IBB falls through my spread before mid-June. The cost of entry is my maximum potential loss. I usually like to hedge my bets, and in this case, I will sell downside risk against the value of the IBB. The trick is to find proven support zones.

The Bank: Sell the IBB Jan $200 put and collect $3 per contract. The current 30% price buffer gives this leg a 90% theoretical chance of success. As long as IBB stock stays above my January sold strike, any premium I recover from selling the June debit put spread would be pure profit. Having no out-of-pocket risk makes managing this trade relatively easy.

Fair warning: Selling puts is risky, so only do it if you are willing and able to own the IBB shares at the strike price.
