Agennix is cutting its staff count by just over a half and closing its Houston, Texas site in a bid to conserve cash as management decides what to do in the wake of the late-stage failure of its lead product candidate talactoferrin earlier this month (scripintelligence.com, 7 August 2012).

Agennix's overall survival in doubt as placebo beats talactoferrin in Ph III NSCLC
The future of Agennix looks in doubt today after its oral recombinant lactoferrin product talactoferrin alfa failed to improve overall survival in a Phase III study in advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in patients who have received at least two prior therapies. The company's hopes had been riding on a positive outcome of this trial, FORTIS-M, after the drug failed a Phase II/III study in sepsis earlier in the year (scripintelligence.com, 3 February 2012).
