Vascular Biogenics Ltd., incorporated on January 31, 2000, is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company. The Company is focused on the discovery, development and commercialization of treatments for cancer. The Company's program is based on its Vascular Targeting System (VTS) platform technology, which utilizes genetically targeted therapy to destroy newly formed, or angiogenic, blood vessels. Its lead product candidate, VB-111(ofranergene obadenovec), is a gene-based biologic that it is developing for solid tumor indications, with a program for recurrent glioblastoma (rGBM), a form of brain cancer. It also is engaged in conducting a program focusing anti-inflammatory diseases, based on the use of its Lecinoxoid platform technology. Lecinoxoids are a class of small molecules it developed that are structurally and functionally similar to naturally occurring molecules known to modulate inflammation. The lead product candidate from this program, VB-201, is a Phase II-ready molecule that demonstrated efficacy in reducing vascular inflammation in a Phase II sub-study in psoriatic patients with cardiovascular risk. VTS Platform The Company's VTS platform technology enables systemic administration of gene therapy to either destroy or promote angiogenic blood vessels. VTS is both tissue- and condition-specific, allowing for targeted and limited gene expression in endothelial cells, the thin layer of cells that lines the interior surface of blood vessels undergoing angiogenesis. Its VTS platform technology comprises three components: a viral vector, a promoter and a transgene. The viral vector is a modified virus that is used as a delivery vehicle to distribute the promoter and the transgene throughout the body. The promoter is its genetically modified promoter, PPE-1-3X, which specifically targets the endothelial cells of angiogenic blood vessels. The transgene is a genetic sequence designed to yield a specific biologic effect, the expression of which is directed by PPE-1-3X. The Company has studied VB-111 in a Phase I all comers trial involving patients with multiple types of metastatic cancer types, including thyroid cancer, neuroendocrine cancer, renal cell carcinoma and lung cancer. In that trial, VB-111 was tolerated and showed a dose- dependent extension in median overall survival across a range of tumor types. Its VTS platform technology enables systemic administration of gene therapy to either destroy or promote angiogenic blood vessels. It has also generated additional product candidates, which utilize the same vector and promoter as in VB-111, and comprise alternative functional transgenes, which include VB-511, an anti-angiogenic candidate; VB-211 and VB-411, which are pro-angiogenic candidates that may be employed for ischemic conditions, such as peripheral vascular disease. Lecinoxoid Platform The Company's Lecinoxoid platform technology comprises a family of orally administered small molecules designed to modulate the body's inflammatory response. Lecinoxoids are compounds that are structurally and functionally similar to naturally occurring molecules, known as oxidized phospholipids, which possess immune modulating anti-inflammatory properties, modified to manage stability and activity. Its lead Lecinoxoid-based compound, VB-201, is designed as an oral agent for the control of chronic inflammatory disorders. VB-201 inhibits the CD-14/TLR4 and TLR2 pathways, as well as monocyte migration. The Company has also developed second and third generations of Lecinoxoid product candidates. Check out these big penny stock gainers and losers We are a pharmaceutical company engaged in the discovery, development and commercialization of drugs that treat severe metabolic, oncologic and psychiatric disorders by modulating the effects of cortisol. Elevated levels and abnormal release patterns of cortisol are implicated in a broad range of human disorders. Since our inception in 1998, we have been developing mifepristone, a compound that modulates the effects of cortisol by acting as a competitive antagonist at the glucocorticoid receptor (GR). We have also discovered three structurally distinct series of proprietary, selective cortisol modulators, all of which share mifepristone's affinity for GR but, unlike mifepristone, do not bind to the progesterone receptor, and so do not terminate pregnancy or cause other side effects associated with progesterone receptor antagonism. We have begun pre-clinical and clinical development of our lead compounds from these series. Advisors' Opinion: Shares of Corcept Therapeutics (NASDAQ:CORT) gained over 11% last month, according to data provided by S&P Global Market Intelligence. The double-digit rise might seem impressive, but it comes on the heels of a report by the Southern Investigative Reporting Foundation (SIRF) that painted the company and its main profit generator, Korlym, a drug approved to treat Cushing's syndrome, in a negative light. That caused the stock to plunge in late January. As a result, shares have posted a year-to-date loss of 6% through the first week of March.

Sohu.com (NASDAQ:SOHU) is still struggling to fire on all cylinders, but investors nonetheless bid shares of the dot-com pioneer higher on Friday after it posted mixed fourth-quarter results. Revenue clocked in at $482.2 million for the final three months of 2018, a 5% decline from a year earlier, but a 5% sequential improvement. Lumber Liquidators (NYSE:LL), Camping World Holdings (NYSE:CWH), and Sohu.com (NASDAQ:SOHU) have taken a beating this year. They're among the biggest losers through the first three quarters of 2018. Let's go over why I think they have a shot at bouncing back in the next three months. Sogou's shares are prone to big swings for a couple of simple reasons. Moreover, Chinese regulators launched an investigation of Sogou in June, forcing the company to shut down parts of its online advertising operations for 10 days in early July. The company is accused of showing video ads that insulted a national hero. That blackout will reduce Sogou's third-quarter revenues by a significant but unannounced amount.
