CAPR PDUFA Nov 22 with AdCom overhang
Author wrote up Capricor at $4.20 after the 9-3 negative AdCom and ~80% drop, expecting FDA to say no, but FDA extended PDUFA to Nov 22 after additional HOPE-3 follow-up and narrowed the label to upper limb function. Now ~$9.40 with $544M cap, ~$238M cash, 22 months runway, 43% short but only 1.6 days to cover so he would not build a squeeze thesis. Main risk: AdCom still voted against the drug and narrowing the indication does not create new data, so FDA can still say no.

VNDA imsidolimab PDUFA Dec 12, strong data
Author flags Vanda's imsidolimab for generalized pustular psoriasis with PDUFA Dec 12, citing GEMINI showing 53% skin clearance by week 4 vs 13% placebo. $328M cap, ~$170M liquidity, 14% short. Market dislikes Vanda's FDA history but the data looks interesting.

ANNX ARCHER II GA binary 2H 2026
Author calls Annexon the biggest binary with Phase 3 topline 2H 2026 in geographic atrophy (ARCHER II), endpoint prevention of 15-letter vision loss. If positive could be first GA drug to show protection of vision rather than only slowing lesion growth. 21% short, ~+/-96% implied move, but only ~12.5 months runway.

CATX ESMO data with strong cash runway

KPTI dilution risk despite high short interest
Author had Karyopharm at $2.04, now $1.79 and still hasn't worked. $41M cap vs ~$65M liquidity, 54% short but only ~7 months runway. Very possible to be right on the drug and still get diluted before getting paid.

BFRI PDUFA Sep 28, high probability but tiny
Author flags Biofrontera's Ameluz expansion into superficial basal cell carcinoma with PDUFA Sep 28, pivotal showing 65.5% clearance vs 4.8%. Looks high probability on paper but it's a $21M company with ~$5M liquidity, hard to size comfortably.
