Executive Summary
US oncology and pain company EpiCept has regained rights to Phase II cancer drug Azixa (verubulin), after biotech-turned-pharma-asset-hunter Salt Lake City-based Myrexis terminated its licence agreement with the company. EpiCept, which was already struggling to resolve its liquidity problem and to find a partner for its pain product AmiKet (amitriptyline and ketamine), is now searching for yet another partner.
