Below is a summary of my recent real-time trading updates posted yesterday on the BioRunUp.com Forum…

With the run-up in EXAS shares over past few days, none of my orders got filled so I decided to buy back into AMRN today with a little less money on the table (withdrew approx. $27K for non stock related investments)…I expect some cash to free up ahead of 29-Oct results for EXAS and may take a position on any pullbacks or just pile into AMRN over the next few months…

AMR101 (Ethyl-icosopentate or Ethyl-EPA) (Prescription-Grade Omega-3 Fatty Acid) — Pivotal Phase 3 MARINE (NCT01047683), ANCHOR (NCT01047501) Clinical Trials under SPA (ClinTrials.gov IDs) (6-8 week run-in periods prior to the12-week treatment periods). AMRN is fully funded through a potential NDA filing with ongoing partner talks. My estimate for MARINE study to be fully randomized is 3Q10 (early AUG) and to complete the study by end OCT for potential results by year-end 2010 in DEC or early 2011. My estimate for the ANCHOR study to be fully randomized is during 4Q10 with potential results during 1-2Q11.
