SCOLR Pharma Collaboration With Wyeth Over Extended Release Ibuprofen Ends; Shares Plunge

BELLEVUE, Wash. (AP) -- Drug developer SCOLR Pharma Inc. said Thursday Wyeth is ending its licensing agreement for SCOLR'S technology in products with ibuprofen, sending its shares plummeting.
SCOLR said it will either look for another partner to develop its 12-hour extended release ibuprofen or work on the drug itself.

The companies signed the development and license agreement Dec. 21, 2005 and SCOLR has already received $2.1 million in milestone and other payments.

The licensing agreement will end effective April 16 and all rights to the technology for ibuprofen products goes back to SCOLR.

Shares of SCOLR shed $1.45, or 43 percent, to $1.87 in morning trading on the American Stock Exchange. Over the past 52 weeks, the stock has ranged between $3.10 and $7.05, and is down nearly 29 percent year-to-date
