Pharmacyte Biotech Inc (OTCMKTS:PMCB) recently made an explosive move up to highs well over $0.15 a share after the Company put out more information on diabetes saying; ”How much would a cure for diabetes be worth? It’s incalculable, but certainly many billions of dollars. Consider the insulin market alone is over $25 billion annually and projected to reach $40 Billion by 2018. Diabetes is a worldwide epidemic with over 350 million diabetes patients globally and growing.
PMCB stared trading on the OTCBB on January 8 after the name change from Nuvilex, Inc. The ticker symbol changed from NVLX to PMCB. The Company said that the name change is part of its transformation process to operate solely as a pure biotechnology firm leveraging its Cell-in-a-Box® technology.
CEO Kenneth L. Waggoner said “Over the past year, we’ve implemented an aggressive strategy to facilitate the advancement of the treatments we are developing for cancer and diabetes, with our Cell-in-a-Box® technology at the core of these treatments. Our new name reflects the tremendous progress we’ve accomplished in terms of clinical development and signifies the structural completion of our transition to becoming a fully dedicated biotechnology company,”
Pharmacyte Biotech Inc (OTCMKTS:PMCB) is a clinical stage biotechnology company focused on developing and preparing to commercialize treatments for cancer and diabetes based upon their unique, proprietary and patented cellulose-based live cell encapsulation technology known as Cell-in-a-Box®.
The live-cell encapsulation technology employed by Pharmacyte Biotech is a way to enclose living cells in protective “cocoons” about the size of the head of a pin. Each capsule can enclose approximately 10,000 cells and the technology is considered a “platform” upon which treatments can be developed.
Dr.Mark Rabe, chairman of the advisory board of Pharmacyte Biotech subsidiary, Medical Marijuana Sciences (MMS) summed it up perfectly when he said ”The live cell encapsulation platform employed by Nuvilex is a unique patented technology on which treatments can be developed for deadly and debilitating diseases such as cancer and diabetes. The technology has shown to be successful in the treatment of pancreatic cancer in initial clinical trials using the conventional chemotherapy drug ifosphamide. ”
To get a sense of just how valuable this technology could be, consider a recent report published by U.S. based market research company, Transparency Market Research “ the global diabetes devices and drugs market was valued at USD 54.04 billion in 2012 and is estimated to reach a market worth of USD 83.0 billion in 2019 growing at a CAGR of 5.9% from 2013 to 2019.
Many investors in the Company view Pharmacyte Biotech Cell-in-a-Box® cell encapsulation technology as THE future of diabetes treatment and suggest the Company is a prime buy out candidate from a major such as Bayer who may be closely watching PMCB.
