- Thinly traded nano cap Ritter Pharmaceuticals (RTTR +7%) perks up on almost double normal on the heels of its announcement of results from an additional analysis of its Phase 2b/3 clinical trial evaluating lead candidate RP-G28 in people with lactose intolerance (LI).
- The company says the additional data show a clear treatment effect with positive reductions in key symptoms of LI. Its safety profile was positive as well, with no treatment-related serious adverse events observed.
- RP-G28, a highly purified galactooligosaccharide, is designed to stimulate the growth of lactose-metabolizing bacteria in the colon. If approved, it will be the first drug cleared by the FDA for the indication.
