Opko Hopeful Treatments

A large expectation for future growth comes from the company’s drug Rayaldee, a SHPT treatment. In Q1, the drug grew by 730% YoY. The company is working to expand sales, which would increase revenue and market share substantially. As the CEO stated, “Rayaldee market penetration appears to be accelerating”.

On June 6th, the company stated it is initiating a Phase 2 clinical trial for Rayaldee to study the treatment for stage 5 chronic kidney disease. If it successfully enters into Phase 3 testing, OPK will see a substantial hike in price. If approved, the company would see great revenue.

The company has many drugs in trial which could spell growth. For instance, their hGH-CTP is in Phase 3. In this partnership with Pfizer, the treatment is looking to help with growth hormones. Also, the Phase 2 study for SARM, a drug that treats BPH, has seen significant success in increasing body mass. The company fully expect to complete testing by the end of 2018. Both these drugs passing FDA approval would be huge for the company and stock price.
