Corbus Pharmaceuticals Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: CRBP)

Corbus Pharmaceuticals Holdings Inc. is a biotech penny stock that develops and commercializes novel therapeutics. These therapeutics target the endocannabinoid system in the fields of autoimmunity, fibrosis, and cancer. Its lead candidate is lenabasum, which is a cannabinoid receptor type 2 in a Phase III clinical trial to treat dermatomyositis, and a Phase II trial to treat systemic lupus erythematosus. On June 24th, Corbus announced topline results from its DETERMINE Phase III study of Lenabasum to treat dermatomyositis.

“We are disappointed that the trial did not meet the primary endpoint of TIS at Week 28. Nonetheless, we are encouraged by the results when the outcome is matched to the subtype of dermatomyositis in the study.

We believe we see clinical activity of lenabasum 20 mg administered twice daily compared to the control group just receiving standard background treatments, with higher TIS scores in classic dermatomyositis subjects with muscle weakness and skin involvement and greater reduction in CDASI activity score in subjects with active skin disease but normal muscle strength.” 

The Chief Medical Officer of CRBP, Barbara White M.D.

On June 24th the company announced its listing on the Australian Securities Exchange. This occurred on July 2nd, 2021 under the ticker NXG.

“NexGen has grown a substantial investor following in Australia and the Asia Pacific region since its founding in 2011. At present, approximately 30% of NexGen’s outstanding share capital is held by investors in the region.

Given the stage of the Company’s development, the exceptional economic strength of the Rook I Project, and the accelerating demand for the responsible production of clean energy worldwide, it is time to broaden the exposure of NexGen through a dual listing onto the ASX.”

President and CEO of NovaBay, Justin Hall said, “Those afflicted with bacterial dry eye can now examine their own eyes and view for themselves the buildup of scruff and debris on their lids and lashes before using Avenova.

9F Inc. is a tech penny stock that we have mentioned several times in the past few months. This company operates a digital financial account platform integrating and personalizing financial services.

If we consider that JFU stock was at $1.13 per share when this year started we see a great deal of bullish interest in the company. Now JFU stock is sitting at around $2.37 per share as of July 7th. Considering this solid momentum, will JFU have a place on your penny stocks watchlist?

ABUS stock price has not had the best year overall in 2021. Despite this, the company has seen several bullish spikes throughout the past twelve months.
