US Drug Stocks Lower With The Broader Market
The Amex Pharmaceutical Index fell nearly 1% to 240 and the Amex Biotechnology Index fell 3.4% to 628. The Dow Jones Industrial Average recently fell 3.5% to 7504.98.
Eli Lilly & Co. (LLY) shares fell $1.31, or 3.9% at $32.44. On Sunday, Lilly reported inconclusive results from a mid-stage clinical trial for its new schizophrenia medication mGlu2/3. Despite the setback, Lilly plans to pursue further testing of the compound, which it says carries fewer negative side effects than other antipsychotic leading medications.
Lilly already markets one of the most widely-prescribed antipsychotic therapies, Zyprexa.
