The biggest winner this fortnight was Anteotech (ASX:ADO). 

Shares are up 31.4% on news of a $1.96m refund under the Federal Government’s Research & Development Tax Incentive scheme.

The rebate relates to R&D activities conducted by AnteoTech in both its Life Science and Energy divisions for the 2021 financial year.

ADO says funds will be reinvested into the continued development of its lateral flow test product offerings for the EuGeni platform and the AnteoX program, which is targeting electrode coating cohesion of lithium-ion battery electrodes.

The EuGeni platform is Anteoch’s compact solution for rapid point-of-care testing – it is a highly interactive, user-friendly reader system underpinned by patented AnteoBind™ nanoparticle technology and can be easily transported into clinics.

Atomo Diagnostics (ASX:AT1) was up 18.2% on no news while Avecho Biotech (ASX:AVE) gained 15.4% after securing a product licence and supply agreement with Medterra Pharma for its CBD soft-gel capsule for the oral treatment of arthritis.

Medterra is one of the most successful CBD companies in the United States and plans to develop AVE’s product with the intent to support FDA approval.

Avecho said this marked a “strategic step forward” in its ambitions to secure Food and Drug Administration approval for its soft-gel CBD product, which will occur in parallel to existing work to register the product for sleep indications with the Therapeutic Goods Administration.

Up 14% was Genetic Signatures (ASX:GSS) with a forecast revenue projection of $21m targeted for the first quarter of 2022.

Prescient Therapeutics (ASX:PTX) was up 12.5% on no news and Biotron (ASX:BIT) saw an 11% rise following an update to market on an extension to its phase-2 HIV-1 trial.

The trial incorporates PTX’s antiviral drug BIT225 and the extension includes a second Australian site – St Vincent’s Hospital Human Research Ethics Committee has approved the study and will be bringing on board a second key trial site at St Vincent’s Hospital in Sydney.

 

Who flatlined?

Amongst the 21 flatliners was Star Combo (ASX:S66), Tali Digital (ASX:TD1), and PYC Therapeutics (ASX:PYC).

Another flatliner was Anagenics (ASX:AN1), formerly named Cellmid.

AN1 said the inspiration for the recent name change traces back to the Greek word for regeneration, anagennisi, and reflects the company’s story, business, and future aspirations.

 

Who’s the biggest loser?

The biggest dipper was IDT Australia (ASX:IDT).

Its shares dropped 41.7% in the past fortnight when news broke out that IDT’s ATM submission had not been selected to progress to the next stage.

The Australian Government announced that a new manufacturing facility will be built in Australia in collaboration with Moderna to produce respiratory mRNA vaccines in the onshore mRNA Approach To Market process.

IDT is now liaising directly with the Australian and Victorian governments to better understand their approach to supporting Australia’s mRNA translation and manufacturing ecosystem.

The second biggest loser was Medibio (ASX:MEB) with shares down 28.6% and Imugene (ASX:IMU) came third at 15.5%.
