Despite its innovative pipeline focusing on treatments for various cancers and Type 1 diabetes, the company's stock experienced a significant downturn. CEO Stephen Anthony Stamp's efforts to advance their lead product candidate, Tolimidone, and other drug delivery platforms have not shielded the company from market volatility.
