Newish (& BLUE HPish) competitor AEGN stumbles:

>>NEW YORK, Dec 4 (Reuters) - Aerogen Inc. (NasdaqNM:AEGN - news), a developer of drugs for respiratory disorders, said Tuesday that biotechnology company Chiron Corp. (NasdaqNM:CHIR - news) will no longer help Aerogen develop its Aerodose Tobi inhaled drug for cystic fibrosis.

Sunnyvale, California-based Aerogen said it is ``very disappointed'' by Chiron's decision as it will aggressively pursue the development of inhaled products both for commercialization by Aerogen and in collaboration with partners.

Aerogen has three products in development for the treatment of respiratory disease. The company will hold a conference call at 11:30 a.m. EST (1630 GMT) to discuss the implications of Chiron's withdrawal from its Aerodose program.

Chiron is already in partnership with Inhale Therapeutic Systems Inc. (NasdaqNM:INHL - news) to develop inhaled antibiotics.

Aerogen's shares fell 6 cents, or 1.86 percent, to $3.16 in mid-morning trading on Nasdaq.<<

Looks like failure was anticipated.
