InterMune (ITMN) Updates Expense Forecasts and Development Plans
InterMune, Inc. (Nasdaq: ITMN) has completed a review of its research and development programs and infrastructure requirements. InterMune will implement a number of operational and infrastructure changes that, when fully implemented by 2008, are expected to reduce annual operating expenses by approximately $40 to $50 million.
