Could be worse, you could own Favrille

Favrille, Inc. (NASDAQ:FVRL) fell 85% today, shares are now only 25 cents after the Biopharmaceutical said it will end development of Specifid, after the drug failed to prove effective against non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma in a late-stage trial. Major swing, and a miss.
Favrille (nasdaq: FVRL) said patients taking Specifid and Bayer (nyse: BAY) AG’s Leukine did not show slower progression of the immune system cancer than patients taking Leukine and a placebo. All patients in the trial had previously taken Genentech (nyse: DNA)’s Rituxan.
“We are clearly very disappointed with the data from this trial,” said John P. Longenecker, president and chief executive of Favrille, in a statement. “Based on these results, we are discontinuing development of Specifid and are currently evaluating steps to conserve cash and recognize value on our assets.”
Masters, think twice if you think there’s a bounce play in this stock, you can’t bounce a dead cat.
