Medigene Discontinues Etomoxir Development Definitively MUNICH -(Dow Jones)- German biotechnology company Medigene AG (G.MDG) said Friday it has decided to discontinue the development of its congestive heart failure drug Etomoxir because Phase II clinical data showed it didn't have the expected efficacy. In April, the company prematurely halted the clinical trials due to raised liver enzymes in around 5% of the patients tested with a 40 milligram or 80 milligram dosage. It had planned to continue the trials with a lower dosage, but was awaiting the results of the Phase II data to determine whether the program was still worth pursuing. Etomoxir is one of seven products in Medigene's pipeline.
