Genitope is a drug development company in arrested development. It had hoped to find new ways to fight cancer with old weapons, but now it is just hoping to find a future. The company was researching immunotherapy treatments for cancer, using the body's own immune system to fight tumors. Genitope's leading drug candidate, MyVax, was a patient-specific immunotherapy that would specify the genetic makeup of the tumor, activate the patient's immune system to attack it, and cause no damage to cells other than the tumor. However, the drug did not do well in early clinical trials, and when the FDA requested additional trials for further review, Genitope chose to scrap the whole program.

Somaxon Pharmaceuticals is a specialty pharmaceutical company focused on the in-licensing, development and commercialization of proprietary products and late-stage product candidates for the treatment of diseases and disorders in the central nervous system therapeutic area. Our lead product candidate is Silenor® (doxepin) for the treatment of insomnia. Silenor is a sleep-specific, low-dose (3mg and 6mg), oral tablet formulation of doxepin that is patent-protected for use in insomnia. In contrast to higher-dose doxepin, Silenor is a potent antagonist that appears to selectively block histamine at the H1 receptor without a clinically relevant impact on other neurotransmitter systems. Doxepin at higher doses has been associated with a range of pharmacologic side effects that include anticholenerigic effects (dry mouth, constipation, etc.) and weight gain. In clinical trials, patients taking Silenor generally did not exhibit the side effects associated with higher doses of doxepin.
