Progenics Pharmaceuticals (PGNX) Ends Hepatitis C Program PRO 206
Progenics Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: PGNX) today announced the discontinuation of development for PRO 206, a pre-clinical compound for the treatment of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection.
Progenics said the decision was made as part of a portfolio review, and is in line with the Company's ongoing initiative to allocate resources to the most important programs in order to increase its operating efficiencies.
