Low Float (Nasdaq: SHPH) Climbs Monday's Watchlist Behind 5 Critical Potential Catalysts


November 2nd

Greetings, Friend!


In targeted cancer therapy, one specialty pharma player is gaining notice for a novel take on boosting radiation’s impact.


Its strategy centers on finely tuned drug combinations that heighten tumor sensitivity yet spare healthy cells, setting new expectations for treatment results.


Preliminary data point to promising gains in precision across multiple cancers.


Backed by a focused research team and rising clinical traction, this discreet innovator could soon shift how radiation-based medicine is practiced.


With fewer than 1Mn shares in its float creating an environment for strong volatility potential, multiple oversold leaning technicals, and a major acquisition nearing completion, this overlooked Nasdaq profile may not stay quiet for much longer:


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).


Shuttle Pharmaceuticals: Pursuing a Cure for Cancer


Shuttle Pharmaceuticals is pioneering therapies to help boost cancer cure rates, extend survival, and improve patient quality of life.


Transforming Radiation Therapy Outcomes


The company develops treatments that target malignant cells while preserving healthy tissue and engaging the body’s immune system. Its goal is to enhance radiation therapy (RT) effectiveness and reduce side effects. Through proprietary drug discovery and diagnostic platforms, Shuttle is driving new standards in combination cancer treatment.


Powering a New Era in RT


Radiation therapy is integral to cancer care—over half of U.S. cancer patients receive it during treatment. Shuttle’s drug candidates make cancer cells more radiation-sensitive by triggering DNA damage response pathways while shielding normal tissue. Its lead drug, Ropidoxuridine, is a first-in-class oral halogenated pyrimidine that greatly amplifies RT sensitivity.


Innovation Through a Robust Platform


Shuttle’s platform has produced patented histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors that modulate radiation’s effects on cancer cells. Academic partnerships have also yielded exclusive diagnostic technologies for managing prostate cancer. The company’s pipeline includes a Phase II clinical candidate (Ropidoxuridine), three preclinical HDAC inhibitors, and a blood-based prostate cancer test in development.


Redefining Diagnostic Precision


Recognizing variation in prostate tumor behavior, Shuttle is developing a predictive biomarker test to evaluate treatment risk, inform decisions, and guide post-therapy care for patients considering elective radiation therapy.


Ropidoxuridine


Ropidoxuridine, Shuttle’s lead asset, is a radiation sensitizer under Phase II evaluation for glioblastoma, an aggressive brain cancer. It holds FDA Orphan Drug Designation, offering potential exclusivity post-approval. The compound integrates into the DNA of rapidly dividing cancer cells, intensifying their vulnerability to radiation by forming reactive species that cause fatal DNA breaks.


Meeting an Urgent Therapeutic Demand


Roughly 800,000 U.S. cancer patients receive radiation annually, half with curative intent. Shuttle’s Ropidoxuridine trial represents a major step toward improving outcomes for more than 400,000 patients each year seeking curative radiation therapy.


HDAC Inhibitors and Dual Functional Design


HDAC inhibitors influence gene expression by altering chromatin structure—restoring tumor suppressor function through an epigenetic pathway central to modern oncology. Shuttle’s research emphasizes dual-action molecules that heighten tumor sensitivity, protect normal tissue, and stimulate immune engagement. The company holds over 20 HDAC inhibitor patents across North America and Europe.


Expanding Precision Oncology


Three core candidates are under 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.


Therapeutics Pipeline

Diagnostics


PC-RAD Test is a predictive blood test of therapeutic outcomes to RT for organ-confined prostate cancers.


PSMA-B ligand is a theranostic molecule for diagnosis and therapy of metastatic prostate cancers.

5 Potential Catalysts Put (Nasdaq: SHPH) On Monday's Radar


#1. SHPH Is Being Reported As A Low Float Profile Meaning Volatility Potential Could Be Significantly Heightened.


SHPH’s low float of approximately 987.08k shares may create conditions for heightened volatility due to its limited supply.


#2. A Potential Reversal/Bounce Could Be Right Around The Corner.


At close on Friday, Barchart was reporting SHPH to have a 9-Day Relative Strength Index (RSI) below 29% and a 14-Day RSI below 36%.


On top of that a 14-Day Raw Stochastic of 5.16% may also suggest a potential reversal may be right around the corner.


#3. Shuttle Pharmaceuticals Could Expand Capabilities Through A Strategic AI Platform Acquisition.


Shuttle Pharmaceuticals Holdings signed a binding term sheet to acquire Canadian AI company Molecule for $10Mn in cash and st-ock.


The acquisition will strengthen Shuttle’s drug discovery and development capabilities through Molecule’s advanced molecular modeling and predictive analytics platform.


CEO Chris Cooper stated that the move supports Shuttle’s mission to advance precision radiotherapy solutions.


The deal, pending due diligence and final agreements, marks a major step in expanding Shuttle’s technological foundation and accelerating innovation in cancer treatment.


#4. Shuttle Pharma Provides Second Quarter 2025 Corporate Update.


The company recently provided a key corporate update. Here are some important details:


  • Patient enrollment in the Company’s Phase 2 clinical trial of Ropidoxuridine for treatment of patients with glioblastoma reached 63% in the initial randomized portion of the trial.


  • 72% of the enrolled patients have completed all seven cycles.


  • Ropidoxuridine is being reported by treatment sites as well tolerated.


  • Ended the quarter with $4.8Mn in cash following the closing of a private placement pursuant to a securities purchase agreement with an accredited in-vest-or for aggregate gross proceeds of $4.25Mn in June 2025.


  • Completed a reverse st-ock split in June 2025 as part of strategic Nasdaq compliance initiative.
