NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / November 2, 2017 / Traders News Source, a leading independent equity research and corporate access firm focused on small and mid-cap public companies, is issuing a comprehensive report with no obligation on Inotek Pharmaceuticals Corporation (NASDAQ: ITEK), a biopharmaceutical company that was focused on the discovery, development, and commercialization of therapies for ocular diseases, including glaucoma. Its previous trials did not meet primary efficacy endpoints, and the company is now focusing on evaluating strategic alternatives.

On October 12th, the company announced the filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission its preliminary proxy statement in connection with the previously announced proposed combination of Inotek Pharmaceuticals and Rocket Pharmaceuticals, a leading US-based multi-platform gene therapy company.

Prior to the first announcement of the proposed merger, ITEK shares were trading at $1.05/share, and have since leaped to $2.49/share, as investors seem positive about the combination.

Rocket Pharmaceuticals is an emerging, clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on developing first-in-class gene therapy treatment options for rare, undertreated diseases. Its lead clinical program is an LVV-based gene therapy for the treatment of Fanconi Anemia (FA). Preclinical studies of additional bone marrow-derived disorders are ongoing and target Pyruvate Kinase Deficiency (PKD), Leukocyte Adhesion Deficiency-1 (LAD-I), and Infantile Malignant Osteopetrosis (IMO).

With this transaction, Rocket's rich pipeline is expected to progress even more rapidly into what we already see as a transformational year for the company. The company expects to enter the clinic in 2018, with clinical proof of concept data from one or more of the lentiviral programs in 2018.
