Micro Cap Soaring On Phase 2 Trial Update

Pharma and %Biotech stocks seem to be stealing the show as of late, and this certain Maryland-based pharma company is no exception on Tuesday. A certain micro cap is soaring after it was announced that it has successfully dosed the first three patients with its ropidoxuridine drug candidate in a phase 2 trial of the prospective radiation sensitizer in patients with glioblastoma.

Traders were quick to snatch up shares of %ShuttlePharmaceuticalsHoldings Inc. (Nasdaq: $SHPH ) following the announcement, with the price being pushed up to $2.25/share (+69.17%) at the early session high. This move could be an indication of things to come as it appears that the stock could be breaking out of a multi-month downtrend following this announcement.
