27% profit every 20 days?

This is what Nic Chahine averages with his option buys. Not selling covered calls or spreads… BUYING options. Most traders don’t even have a winning percentage of 27% buying options. He has an 83% win rate. Here’s how he does it.


  • Galera Therapeutics Inc (NASDAQ:GRTX) stock has plunged to all-time since its listing in November 2019 in reaction to disappointing data from the Phase 3 ROMAN trial of avasopasem manganese in severe oral mucositis (SOM) patients with locally advanced head and neck cancer (HNC) undergoing standard-of-care radiotherapy. 
  • The trial did not meet its primary endpoint of reduction in the incidence of SOM. The Company continues to analyze the results.
  • Key findings:
  • 16% relative reduction in the incidence of SOM in the avasopasem treatment group (54%) vs. placebo group (64%), the primary endpoint.
  • 56% relative reduction in the number of days of SOM in the avasopasem treatment group (8 days) vs. placebo group (18 days).
  • 27% relative reduction in the severity in the avasopasem treatment group (24%) vs. placebo.
  • Avasopasem was generally well tolerated with similar rates of adverse events in the active and placebo arms.
  • Oral mucositis is a side effect of radiation therapy characterized by severe pain, inflammation, ulceration, and bleeding of the mouth.
