Small companies that have something that big companies want...

MCET is my latest investment. I wound up purchasing 100,000 shares @ $.0017/share. MCET has filed for a patent that is the first FDA approved cure for liver cancer. If patent is obtained refer to step 5: profit.

If MCET can obtain the patent I would imagine that a larger company would swoop in and either buy out this company altogether or purchase the patent. If either of these are done, what would happen to my shares? Do the larger companies purchase my shares also?

TIA

If that company had even a remote shot at bringing a cancer drug to the market then I can assure you it wouldn't be worth a whopping 6 million EV...

If a big company bought out MCET, you would either get cash and/or shares of the big company doing the buyout. Either way, you would be getting P-A-I-D. I'm thinking about spending maybe $300 myself. Hate to call something so important a lottery ticket, but with MCET being so tiny, it's worth a chance.

Is this an attempted patent on a naturally-occurring compound?

Press release says treatment. Subtle difference, but I'll research more on it and get back with you. If the prelim synopsis I just read is correct, it will be a unique therapy that will probably be used in conjunctions with other drugs, but it's NOT a cure. If the clinical data looks favorable, your stock could increase in value IF the patent is granted AND the FDA approves the therapy. If not, you just bet it all on red and Wesley Snipes came up.

You should probably do a bit of reading on the pre-clinical development process for biotech companies. That press release says they are still evaluating vsRNAs in "animal models", which is code for mice. Plus they are announcing they have just submitted a provisional application, which is to say they haven't even submitted the full application (they have a year to do so).

Long story short, small companies put out press releases like this all the time. I hope you put in more leg work than just reading the press release and glancing through the MCT website.

And they haven't cured liver cancer. They wouldn't even know if they had...they aren't running clinical trials. The most they can say is they have significantly affected liver cancer in mice.

We talkin' bout preclinical. We ain't talkin bout no Phase I or II or IV, we talkin about preclinical.

As Sigma noted this is standard fare for tiny biotech firms with one or two candidates in their portfolio. Years away from Phase I (assuming it ever came close). OP should consider liquidating and going to the casino for optimal return on investment.

And a $170 position to top it off. Sigh.
