من باب المضاربة
أنا لا أعرف عن الشركة كثيرا وقد سبق أن كتبت عن شركة نزلت بقوة قبل يومين بسبب فشل دواء لمرض السرطان لديها. والأن هذه هي الشركة الأحخرى التي نزلت في يوم واحد من 16 دولار إلى أقل من 4.
وهذه هي مشكلة شركات الأدوية.
وهناك شركة أخرى هي MRVT وهي مثل هذه الشركة فشلت في دواء آخر للعين فنزلت بقوة من 10 دولار إلى 3 دولار ووصلت اليوم أقل من 2 دولار
وعموما هذا النزول وإن كان ربما بسبب قوي قد تكون منا سبة للمضاربة ليوم أو يومين وبكمية غير كبيرة وضع STOP LOSSES
Inspire Announces Preliminary Results in First Phase III Clinical Trial of INS365 Ophthalmic for the Treatment of Dry Eye

DURHAM, N.C., Jan. 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Inspire Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (ISPH) announced today top line preliminary efficacy results from the first of two Phase III clinical trials for INS365 Ophthalmic eye drops for the treatment of dry eye. These preliminary results indicate that INS365 Ophthalmic did not meet the primary efficacy objectives of the study. While patient improvement on INS365 Ophthalmic was clearly observed, and was similar to that observed in the Phase II study, there was an improvement of similar magnitude observed in the placebo group. The trial was a placebo-controlled, double-masked comparison of the safety and efficacy of INS365 Ophthalmic to placebo, at concentrations of 1% and 2%. This first of two Phase III studies enrolled 558 patients in 35 sites across the United States. The second Phase III study is ongoing, and efficacy results are expected in the second quarter of this year. The company will make a decision on whether or not to continue the program when the results of the second Phase III trial are available.
"We are clearly disappointed by the results of this first Phase III trial," stated Christy L. Shaffer, President and CEO of Inspire. "The placebo effect in this trial was greater than in our Phase II trial, and we will be continuing to analyze these preliminary data in the coming weeks to determine whether there are factors that influenced these preliminary results."
Inspire Pharmaceuticals, Inc. discovers and develops new drugs to treat diseases characterized by deficiencies in the body's innate defense mechanisms of mucosal hydration and mucociliary clearance, as well as other non-mucosal disorders. Mucosal defense mechanisms are the natural way that the body defends its mucosal surfaces against dust, pollutants, bacteria and viruses. Inspire's lead product candidates target ophthalmic and respiratory diseases with inadequate current treatments and which represent large therapeutic market opportunities. Inspire has six product candidates in clinical development, and has development and commercialization alliances with Allergan, Inc., Kissei Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., Santen Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. and Kirin Brewery Co., Ltd. Inspire's products are based on proprietary technology relating to P2Y receptors. Inspire is exploring other target diseases where it believes P2Y receptors play important biological roles.
