What a way to start the week. The markets are green right now and even ahead of all of the expected financial meetings this week, sentiment is high. That’s true too for the companies we talked about this morning. So let’s dive in and get everyone caught up to speed.
ParcelPal Technology Inc. (PKG.CN) (PTNYF) Jumps On Integration News
ParcelPal Technology Inc. (PKG.CN) (PTNYF) has been on the move for most of the month and the recent jump comes on the heels of this penny stock announcing integration on the Shopify platform. If you’re wondering, this is the same Shopify that trades publicly at OVER $300 a share!
Now the deal was first scooped by Benzinga and was later confirmed when ParcelPal formally announced the deal later in morning. Businesses of any kind, notably cannabis merchants will be able to integrate their Shopify eCommerce store nearly instantly to ParcelPal’s ecosystem.
These merchants will enable their customers to tap into ParcelPal’s network and have their products delivered in an hour or less. ParcelPal has begun this process with Choom and Kiaro.

GT Biopharma, Inc. (GTBP) Consolidation Could Lead To More Excitement
GT Biopharma, Inc. (GTBP) continues to pick up the pace. Since we initiated coverage on the company, we’ve watch GTBP climb as much as 30% and as of today, it’s still up by roughly 12.5% in just over a week. We have seen a bit of consolidation to start this week but that could open the door to more excitement in June. The big focus for GTBP onlookers has been on its immunotherapy portfolio.
The bottom line here is that big money is pouring into cancer-focused companies specifically. The fact that as we write this, Pfizer is in the middle of an $11 billion dollar deal to buy a cancer therapy company should be even more proof of this focus.
To date, GT Biopharma has completed one dose escalation Phase I-II expansion clinical trial, and one fixed dose Phase I-II expansion clinical trial, which collectively enrolled a combined 43 patients. On the surface, the Phase I-II expansion clinical trial demonstrated greater than 50% of Evaluable patients receiving 60 mg/kg dose had a positive clinical response.
Two patients exhibited a Complete Remission with one patient currently disease-free at 50 months post-treatment. Additionally, five patients exhibited Stable Disease, cancers that are neither increasing nor decreasing in severity, with the longest response lasting 12 months post-treatment. In addition to this, the company’s therapy has also shown that it could target HIV infected cells in the University of Minnesota’s preclinical testing. Not only that but in specific tests, data showed that HIV-infected targets that express the HIV envelope on their surface could be eliminated.
