Ardea Biosciences Inc. (RDEA) recently announced additional positive results from the completed first cohort of an ongoing mid-stage, proof-of-concept (POC) study of RDEA594, for the treatment of hyperuricemia (abnormally elevated uric acid levels) and gout. Data from the study were presented at a medical meeting in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.  Results showed that RDEA594 significantly lowered serum uric acid levels in gout patients and was well tolerated with no serious adverse events and no premature discontinuations. Approximately 90% of the gout patient population consists of patients who excrete less than normal amounts of uric acid and are the primary target for treatment with RDEA594. At the same time, results also revealed that the drug is not more effective than current medication − allopurinol − a cheap generic.  Ardea is aiming to develop RDEA594 as an add-on or alternative for patients who do not benefit from the existing medications ...

Yesterday, oil refiner and marketer Sunoco Inc. (SUN) announced certain strategic actions to improve the company’s performance and competitiveness in a cost-effective manner, as it struggles to cope with the bearish refining margin environment. Sunoco said that it would indefinitely idle a New Jersey refinery, furlough 400 workers and cut its dividend in half. The company hopes that these measures will save $320 million annually, though this would also lead to $475–$550 million in largely non-cash financial charges over the next few quarters. Sunoco has decided to shut down its 145,000 barrels-per-day Eagle Point refinery in Westville, NJ, until market conditions improve. In the meantime, the company will shift production from Eagle Point to its refineries in Philadelphia and Marcus Hook, PA, and may use the idled refinery to produce alternative fuels. The Philadelphia and Marcus Hook facilities will up their utilization rates to make up ...
