    September 25, 2013 6:01 AM EDT

    Overall Analyst Rating:
    BUY (= Flat)

    THE WOODLANDS, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Opexa Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: OPXA), a biotechnology company developing Tcelna®, a patient-specific T-cell immunotherapy for the treatment of multiple sclerosis (MS), today announced the conversion of the Company’s outstanding 12% convertible secured promissory notes into shares of common stock. Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $3.185 million plus accrued interest were converted into an aggregate of 1,714,697 shares of Opexa common stock on September 24, 2013 at a conversion price of $1.91, which represented the most recent closing market price of Opexa’s common stock at the time of conversion. Opexa intends to file a Form S-3 registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission to register the common stock.

    The conversion of the notes also triggered the release of $500,000 of restricted cash to Opexa that has been held in a controlled account, as well as the release of the security interest in all other assets of Opexa.

    “Through the conversion of these notes, the Company is now debt-free and has strengthened its balance sheet considerably,” commented Neil K. Warma, President and Chief Executive Officer of Opexa. “Importantly, this transaction enables us to preserve cash for the continued funding of our ongoing Abili-T clinical trial in patients with Secondary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis.”

    Dit is weer zo'n probeersel van een op geld belust advocatenkantoor.
    Schrikreactie: meer dan 10% omlaag.
    Bijgekocht op € 1,78.

    Dat moest $ 1,78 zijn uiteraard.
    Had een veel sterkere rebound verwacht vandaag, i.i.g. méér dan de 10% die het gisteren omlaag ging.
    Wacht het nog even af, en verkoop dan de helft.

    Opexa Therapeutics Immune Monitoring Program Recognized in Neurology Reviews
    October 25, 2013

    Opexa Therapeutics, Inc., a biotechnology company developing Tcelna, a novel T-cell immunotherapy for the treatment of multiple sclerosis (MS), announced that the Company has been featured in Neurology Reviews.

    According to a release, the article, titled "Regulation May Be Impaired in Patients With Secondary Progressive MS," was written by Erik Greb, the publication's senior associate editor, and presents data from Opexa's Immune Monitoring program that is part of its ongoing Phase IIb Abili-T trial in Secondary Progressive MS (SPMS).

    The article presents baseline data on Opexa's Immune Monitoring Program that was previously presented at the 2013 Americas Committee for Treatment and Research in Multiple Sclerosis (ACTRIMS) meeting. The immune monitoring data will be used to assess the impact of Tcelna in SPMS patients compared to patients receiving placebo. Opexa's data supports the finding that immune regulation appears to be impaired in individuals with SPMS. Opexa characterized the status of patients with SPMS entering the Phase IIb trial at baseline and compared the data sets to those of healthy donors. The results showed a marked difference between key biomarkers of inflammation, specifically TR1 and Treg cells, in patients suffering from SPMS versus healthy donors. The results corroborated findings in the literature and provide support for the assays being utilized by Opexa for the immune monitoring program.

    "As part of our Phase IIb Abili-T trial, we are undertaking a comprehensive immune monitoring program for all patients enrolled in the study," commented Donald Healey, PhD, Chief Scientific Officer at Opexa. "The goals of this program are to further understand the biology behind the mechanism of action for Tcelna and to possibly identify novel biomarkers that are dominant in the pathophysiology of SPMS patients. The program encompasses an analysis of various pro- inflammatory and anti-inflammatory biomarkers. We believe that the blinded data, which will be analyzed during the course of the trial, may potentially signal responders and non-responders when correlated with clinical data on completion of the Abili-T study."

    The article can be accessed here or from the home and investor relations pages of Opexa's website.
