On January 5, 2018, Ohr announced topline data from its MAKO study to evaluate the use of Squalamine combination therapy for the treatment of wet-AMD. Ohr announced the MAKO study did not meet its primary efficacy endpoint. Following this news, shares of Ohr fell from a close of $2.02 on January 4, 2018, to a close of $0.38 on January 5, 2018.
