Doesn't Macugen have to be approved first? <vbg>

Even with PFE as a partner, I still don't see this as a slam dunk. After Vioxx, the leaderless FDA is likely to be a bit more gunshy especially when there are safety concerns and questionable efficacy relative to existing approved treatments.

IMO,
Ian

ENZN is about at breakeven, and will likely move into profitability with royalties from Macugen.

Abelcet their anti-fungal is facing increased competition.



You were right Peter. Briefing reports ENZN is halted.

Enzon Pharmaceuticals Inc. (ENZN.O: Quote, Profile, Research) on Tuesday lowered its company sales forecast for fiscal 2005, citing weaker-than-expected demand for its Abelcet injectable antifungal medicine.

The Bridgewater, New Jersey-based company said it expects North American sales of the drug to be between $55 million and $60 million in the fiscal year ending June 30, 2005. That compares with the company's earlier forecast of $69 million to $73 million.
