Meanwhile atacicept stumbles a bit, causing ZGEN to firesale and test all time lows.

Regulation FD Disclosure

Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.
On October 27, 2008, Merck Serono announced that it was discontinuing the study in lupus nephritis in the ongoing Phase II/III systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) atacicept program. The study combining mycophenolate mofetil, corticosteroids and atacicept in patients with kidney disease had been initiated in December 2007. The observation of an increased risk for severe infection led to the discontinuation. This observation was likely the result of the underlying significant disease activity and the concomitant use of several immunosuppressive medications. The ongoing atacicept programs in generalized SLE, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis and hematological malignancies are continuing.<<

What would be the difference between generalized SLE and SLE? Or are they the same, and the company is saying that other trials with different protocols are ongoing in the same indication?

TIA & Cheers, Tuck
