General and Outlook
- 2010 10K: "We expect to continue to incur substantial and continuing losses over the next 18 to 24 months as our own product development programs continue and various preclinical and clinical trials commence or continue, including in particular our Phase III clinical study program for LibiGel"...."We currently do not have sufficient cash resources to obtain regulatory approval of LibiGel or any of our other products in development....we believe that our cash and cash equivalents of $38.2 million at December 31, 2010 and the additional $23.8 million in net proceeds we received from our March 2011 registered direct offering will be sufficient to meet our liquidity requirements through at least the next 15 to 18 months"
- R&D expenses of $3.5-4.5m per month until safety study is enrolled, falling ~30% to about $3m late 2011 and into 2012 (4/15/11 and 5/24/11 webcasts)...only see safety study patients yearly after 12 months, greatly reduces costs
- 3/15/11 and 4/15/11 webcast: Cash on hand is sufficient to get to 3q2012. 5/24/11 webcast: "No intention or need to raise money in 2011"
- Merger w/ Cell Genesys $CEGE announced 6/30/2009 and closed 10/15/2009- issued 20.2m shares valued at $39m
- 9/14/2010: 40 employees (35 on libigel). 12/31/10 45 employees, 38 involved in product development
- Previously have said that will probably partner Libigel before NDA (catalyst would be completion of enrollment), definitely before aproval, or complete sale of company
- 2010 10k: "Marketing rights to our gel products in Canada are subject to an agreement with Paladin Labs Inc. [September 2000] In exchange for the sublicense, Paladin agreed to make an initial investment in our company, make future milestone payments and pay royalties on sales of the products in Canada. The milestone payments are required to be in the form of a series of equity investments by Paladin in our common stock at a 10 percent premium to the market price of our stock at the time the equity investment is made." [I have never heard any discussion of this arrangement before]
- R&D expenses were $39.7m in 2010, $13.7m in 2009, and $15.8m in 2008
