Indeed they are in early trials and unprofitable, albeit apparently sitting on $18m cash. They used to be a kind of biotech incubator with fingers in several pies. Over past year they've ditched other divisions and put sole focus on treatment for Wet AMD, the leading cause of blindness in the western world, with a potential market of $5 billion in the US and $10b worldwide. Hence the recent 'rebranding' to Opthea.
According to their reports, current treatments are ineffective for at least half of patients short-term and the vast majority in the long-term. They only target "VEGF-A" while Opthea's 'OPT-302' molecule targets VEGF-C and VEGF-D and could therefore be used in conjunction with current treatments to enhance outcomes. The science is a million miles over my head but from a business point of view I do like the chances of selling a potential complementary product, rather than competing head on with the incumbents in the sector.
I suppose becoming a pure-play in such a potentially lucrative market has gained investor attention.
Obviously a highly speculative stock which will become worthless if trials are unsuccessful. I have a small holding. Would be interested in other members' thoughts.
