Keryx also noted that it has $31 million in cash and plans to complete a Phase 3 study on an end-stage renal disease treatment in the fourth quarter. The company also plans to file a new drug application for the drug, called Zerenex, “shortly thereafter.”
The company’s stock is getting thrashed in the pre-market, down about -55% at $2.28, only a penny higher than its current 52-week low.
