AFTER THE BELL - Immunex rises 11 to 118

NEW YORK, May 10 (Reuters) - Shares of Immunex Corp. rose sharply in Monday's post-session after the company said it plans to seek regulatory approval for expanded use of its drug Enbrel in patients with early, active rheumatoid arthritis.

The company said results of a key trial were positive.

The company also said it was advising doctors not to begin Enbrel in patients with an active infection after six deaths were reported among 25,000 patients taking it since November.

Immunex traded at 118 on the Instinet broker system, up 11 from the regular close.
