Recent Developments

OWC Pharmaceutical biggest undoing has been the lack of news flow that investors can use to gauge underlying developments as well as long-term prospects. A lack of press releases has continued to dent the stock’s sentiments in the market.The last piece of information came in March when the Company confirmed it had inked a strategic partnership with Israeli based Sourasky Medical Center to conduct a safety and tolerability trial on the Company’s CBD tablets for the treatment of chronic low back pain.

“There is a very large amount of hype surrounding medical applications of cannabis, but we are one of the few companies doing real medical research,” says Mordechai Bignitz, CEO of OWC Pharmaceutical Research Corp. “Our collaboration with Sourasky Medical Center is further proof of our commitment to developing real cannabis-based medical solutions.”

The safety study is part of the Company’s renewed drive of becoming a research and development company. The Company is no longer interested in the undifferentiated cannabis sector on the belief the business is being commoditized and that any short-term value would disappearIn 2018, the OWC Pharmaceutical made appropriate moves as part of its R&D drive. Some of the R&D achievements attained in the year included the completion of a safety study on a cannabis cream for a skin disorder.OWC Pharmaceutical also completed the development of next-generation sub lingual disintegrating tablet, being developed as a potential substitute for smoking. In the multiple myeloma program, the firm completed a dosing study of a proprietary systemic emulsion delivery system.

“While we understand that investors are keen to receive news flow, our clinical programs take time to obtain the necessary approvals, recruit patients and process data. These clinical programs are however key to our ultimate ability to provide genuine medical solutions and thereby to create real value for our shareholders,” stated Dr. Stanley Hirsch, Chairman of the Board.

The Company has since raised $5 million through a preferred convertible debt offering. The funding will go a long way in funding ongoing clinical programs as well as research scope. OWC Pharmaceuticals has also confirmed it is evaluating potential commercialization pathways and relationships as it looks to generate some value from its clinical programs.

What Next For OWC Pharmaceutical Research Corp

OWC Pharmaceutical has shed a significant amount of market value over the past year and now appears to have hit the floor. A bounce back from all time, lows on huge turnover of trade shares could as well signal a correction higher, on bears exiting positions.While the stock is an ideal bounce-back play, it may be wise to wait for the stock to rise and stabilize above the $0.01 mark, to consider it a long-term investment play. This would confirm that the downtrend line has been broken.We will be updating our subscribers as soon as we know more.
