The company had failed in its clinical trials of its prostate cancer and pancreatic cancer drug candidates. After it announced the failed results in June, the company's main creditor, Hans-Werner Hector, cut off a $50 million line of credit he had extended the company, which the company had apparently drawn down by $20 million. Jeoffrey L. Burtch, of Cooch & Taylor in Wilmington, Delaware has been appointed trustee for the liquidation.
