more cash than pipeline

That's just about every big pharma. <g>

But what they are all looking for is late-stage pipeline. My guess is the Bayer stuff is mostly very early.

BTW, a comment I saw someplace claimed that Bayer had just hired a bunch of contract salespeople to promote Baycol. So likely one of the contract companies will be hurt by this as well.

Edit: I just found this in a PDII 8-k:

Recent Developments

On August 8, 2001, Bayer Corporation announced that it was voluntarily withdrawing Baycol from the U.S. market. PDI confirmed that it has an agreement with Bayer, pursuant to which its sales force markets three different products on Bayer's behalf, including Baycol. Based upon PDI's most recent discussions with Bayer, Bayer has informed PDI that it has no present intention of modifying its contract
with PDI at this time, although Bayer has a contractual right to terminate the contract upon 75 days written notice.
