Take a moment to review my initial report below and consider this low float (fewer than 4Mn shares) Nasdaq profile (SHPH) for your radar Friday.

-----


Well... That was something.


While the overall markets haven't been able to figure out what to do, my profile for Wednesday absolutely wore its chart out.


Brought into focus Tuesday night following an after-hours close of $1.07, this most recent breakout idea ripped before the bell to a high of $5.64.


In a stunning set of events, that Nasdaq profile turned heads with a move of approx. 427%!


After spinning my head back on to my neck, I sought to move forward putting together a new report on a new breakout idea.


Similarly enough, just like this most recent alert, this profile trades on the Nasdaq and has a low float.


Though this profile shares these similarities and more with Wednesday's profile that surged an approx. 427%, these characteristics alone aren't any indication that this next profile will undergo the same type of move.


But I will tell you this...


With significant news announcements in early 2025, this Nasdaq profile may not fly under Wall Street's radar for too much longer.


That's why you should consider turning your attention to:


*Shuttle Pharmaceuticals Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: SHPH)*


Founded in 2012 by faculty members of the Georgetown University Medical Center, Shuttle Pharma is a discovery and development stage specialty pharmaceutical company focused on improving the outcomes for cancer patients treated with radiation therapy (RT).


And based on several potential catalysts, (Nasdaq: SHPH) tops my immediate watchlist. Take a look at them:


No. 1 - Could This Low Float Create A Scenario For Strong Volatility Potential?


No. 2 - Key Milestone Achieved As Phase 2 Clinical Trial Marches Forward.


No. 3 - Shuttle Announces Sponsored Research Agreement With UCSF To Advance PSMA Development Program.


No. 4 - Shuttle Announces Appointment Of Experienced Businessman, Christopher Cooper, As Co-CEO.


No. 5 - Shuttle Creates Added Flexibility To Advance Phase 2 Clinical Trial.


Pursuing a Cure for Cancer - Shuttle Pharmaceuticals Company Overview


Shuttle Pharmaceuticals is developing novel therapies designed to increase cancer cure rates, prolong patient survival, and improve quality of life.


Improving Outcomes for Cancer Patients


Shuttle Pharmaceuticals develops innovative therapies designed to target cancer cells, protect healthy tissue, and harness the body’s innate immune response. Its mission is to enhance the efficacy of radiation therapy (RT) while minimizing side effects. By leveraging drug discovery and proprietary diagnostic technologies, the company aims to increase cancer cure rates and improve quality of life when its therapies are combined with radiation treatment.


The Next Revolution in Radiation Therapy


Radiation therapy is an effective and proven treatment modality for curing cancers. More than half of all patients diagnosed with cancer in the U.S. receive radiation therapy during their disease course.


Shuttle Pharmaceuticals is developing drugs to sensitize growing cancer cells, making them more susceptible to radiation, activating the DNA damage response pathway to kill malignant cells, and protecting adjacent healthy tissue. Its lead candidate, Ropidoxuridine, is an orally available halogenated pyrimidine with strong radiation-sensitizing properties.


Developing a Novel Portfolio


Using its platform technology to discover novel small molecules that modify the effects of ionizing radiation on cancer cells, Shuttle Pharmaceuticals has built a portfolio of patented selective histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors. Strategic collaborations with academic research institutions have enabled the discovery and exclusive licensing of diagnostic technologies for prostate cancer patient management.


The company’s pipeline includes a Phase II clinical-stage lead product (Ropidoxuridine), three preclinical HDAC inhibitors, and a diagnostic blood test under development for prostate cancer patients.


New Horizons in Diagnostic Technology


Prostate cancers vary in aggressiveness and treatment responses. Shuttle Pharmaceuticals’ predictive biomarker strategy focuses on developing a diagnostic test to assess treatment success risk, guide therapeutic decisions, and inform follow-up management for prostate cancer patients considering elective radiation therapy.


Ropidoxuridine


Ropidoxuridine (IPdR) is Shuttle Pharmaceuticals’ lead radiation sensitizer, designed for use with radiation therapy (RT) to treat glioblastoma, a deadly brain malignancy with no known cure. The FDA has granted the drug Orphan Designation, providing potential marketing exclusivity upon approval.


The oral halogenated pyrimidine incorporates into the DNA of rapidly growing cancer cells, increasing their sensitivity to radiation. Metabolites of IPdR generate reactive uracil free radicals, causing lethal DNA double-strand breaks upon radiation exposure.


Addressing a Critical Need


An estimated 800,000 U.S. patients receive radiation therapy annually, with about 50% undergoing treatment with curative intent. The market opp. for radiation sensitizers includes over 400,000 patients seeking cancer cures each year.


Shuttle Pharmaceuticals is conducting a Phase II trial of Ropidoxuridine for glioblastoma. Results may advance radiation sensitizers to improve cure rates, prolong survival, and enhance quality of life for patients.


HDAC Inhibitors


HDAC inhibitors regulate gene expression by modifying histones and non-histone proteins. Increased HDAC activity condenses chromatin, suppressing tumor suppressor genes, while inhibition opens chromatin, restoring their function. This epigenetic mechanism is a key focus in cancer research.


Driving Next-Gen Cancer Therapy


Shuttle Pharmaceuticals’ R&D focuses on dual-functional molecules that sensitize tumors to radiation, protect healthy tissue, and activate immune responses against irradiated cancer cells. The company holds over 20 HDAC inhibitor patents across the U.S., Canada, and Europe.


Expanding Precision Oncology


Three lead candidates are in development for solid tumors:


  • SP-2-225: A Class II (HDAC6)-selective inhibitor enhancing antigen presentation.
  • SP-1-303: A Class I inhibitor targeting ER-positive cancers.
  • SP-1-161: An ATM gene activator with applications in radiobiology.

And as I mentioned above, (Nasdaq: SHPH) has several potential catalysts to consider this moment. Take a look:


No. 1 SHPH Potential Catalyst - Could This Low Float Create A Scenario For Strong Volatility Potential?


According to the Yahoo Finance website, SHPH has a low float.


In fact, the website reports this profile to have approximately 3.62Mn shares in its float.


Why is that important? It's important on one crucial level. Volatility potential.


If the company provides more positive company news in the first half of 2025, could it provide a near term spark?

No. 3 SHPH Potential Catalyst - Shuttle Announces Sponsored Research Agreement With UCSF To Advance PSMA Development Program.


Shuttle Pharma Enters into Sponsored Research Agreement with the University of California, San Francisco to Advance PSMA Development Program


GAITHERSBURG, Md., Dec. 19, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Shuttle Pharmaceuticals Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: SHPH) (“Shuttle Pharma”), ..., today announced a sponsored research agreement with the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) to advance pre-clinical development of Shuttle Diagnostics, Inc.’s (a wholly-owned subsidiary of Shuttle Pharma) ligand to the prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) as a potential diagnostic and therapeutic, or theranostic, molecule. Theranostic molecules are suitable for diagnosis and therapy of cancers.


From a clinical perspective, PSMA is a valuable target for diagnosis and therapy of prostate cancer,commented Shuttle Pharma's Chairman and CEO, Anatoly Dritschilo, M.D.In a discovery project to develop a novel, boron-containing PSMA ligand to enhance proton radiation therapy of prostate cancer, we discovered PSMA-B, a molecule containing boron and demonstrating nanomolar binding activity to PSMA. Preclinical evaluations have been initiated to explore the PSMA-B ligand as a potential prostate cancer sensitizer in combination with proton therapy, as well as a PET diagnostic reagent and as a targeted prostate cancer therapeutic. The agreement with UCSF will support further preclinical testing in a mouse model of prostate cancer for its potential to bind to prostate cancer deposits in mice.


Specifically, UCSF researchers, led by principal investigator, Robert Flavell, M.D., PhD., will aim to develop radiosynthetic methods for producing [18F]FPA-ACUPA probe; investigate cellular binding properties of [18F]FPA-ACUPA in PCa cell lines; and investigate the diagnostic potential of the probe across various PCa phenotypes. Shuttle Pharma has an exclusive license to the PSMA-B intellectual property and has filed a patent application with the US Patent and Trademark Office.


A significant opp... exists for PSMA ligands for prostate cancer diagnosis and treatment, particularly in the development of highly specific and effective theranostic agents for metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer, leveraging its high expression on prostate cancer cells for accurate imaging and targeted therapy delivery using radio labelled PSMA ligands. The Global PSMA PET Imaging Market reached $1.5Bn in 2022 and is expected to reach $2.0Bn by 2030. Pluvicto®, a targeted radiopharmaceutical treatment for PSMA-positive metastatic prostate cancer, has a predicted market size of $2Bn.


We are excited to be working with Dr. Flavell and his team at UCSF to advance development of our PSMA-B ligand, a theranostic that has the potential to play a significant role in the future diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer, Dr. Dritschilo concluded.
