Ohr Pharmaceutical Inc., is a development stage, biotechnology company dedicated to the development of first-in-class drugs for underserved therapeutic needs in large and growing markets. Currently, Ohr is focused on two drugs from its pipeline of five candidate therapeutics, OHR/AVR118 for the treatment of Cachexia in cancer patients and EVIZON™ for the treatment of Wet-AMD. Cachexia is a condition of severe physical wasting with loss of weight, fat and lean muscle mass caused by disease and often seen in patients with advanced cancer, AIDS or other major chronic and progressive diseases. Wet-AMD accounts for approximately 15% of all AMD (age-related macular degeneration), yet it is responsible for 90% of severe vision loss associated with AMD.
