Dow Jones Description
We are a biotech company focused on developing and commercializing innovative therapies in pulmonology and hepatology. Pulmonology is the field of medicine concerned with the diagnosis and treatment of lung conditions. Hepatology is the field of medicine concerned with the diagnosis and treatment of disorders of the liver. We were incorporated in California in 1998 and reincorporated in Delaware in 2000 upon becoming a public company. During the past several years, we have reorganized our business by curtailing new investment in non-core areas and focusing our development and commercial efforts in pulmonology and hepatology. Subsequent to the discontinuation of our clinical trial of Actimmune for IPF in 2007, we now have the following key development programs in place: pirfenidone for IPF, the chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) protease inhibitor program and a new target in hepatology. In February 2009, we announced results from the two Phase 3 CAPACITY studies for pirfenidone. The primary endpoint of change in percent predicted Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) at Week 72 was met with statistical significance in CAPACITY 2 (p=0.001), along with the secondary endpoints of categorical change in FVC and progression-free survival (PFS). The primary endpoint was not met in CAPACITY 1 (p=0.501), but supportive evidence of a pirfenidone treatment effect was observed on a number of measures. Pirfenidone was safe and generally well tolerated in both CAPACITY studies. ...

Cynthia Robinson founded Robinsong Ecological Restorations in 1990 in Huntsville, Alabama. A decade of forestry-related experience in Oregon provided her with the skills to serve an important niche in environmental management. Robinson began as a landscape contractor establishing backyard wildlife habitats and providing erosion control and watershed maintenance. This work created a demand for native plants that soon led Cynthia to develop North Alabama's first native plant nursery to serve the growing landscape/habitat design and construction business there. In the mid-1990s Robinsong's focus shifted to commercial environmental design, consultation and management contracts. Since 1997 Robinsong has provided restoration services for lost wildlife habitats and mitigation of wetland losses. Clients include city, state and federal agencies, farmers, landowners and private enterprises in need of natural resources management.
