CAMBRIDGE, Mass. -(Dow Jones)- Shares of Cambridge NeuroScience
Inc. plunged Tuesday after the biotech firm said it discontinued
a late-phase trial of its lead product, Cerestat, as a
brain-injury treatment because it didn't prove that it would
work well enough.

Cambridge said that in the brain-injury trial, there appeared
to be no difference between patients receiving Cerestat and
patients getting a placebo. That suggested that continuation of
the phase III study would be "unlikely to lead to a
statistically significant outcome," the company said.

Cerestat was the company's main potential product. In June,
analysts pointed out that the other drugs Cambridge NeuroScience
has in development are still in very early preclinical tests.
