La Jolla Gets Cash Injection

October 17, 2005 | A version of this story appeared in Volume 83, Issue 42

La Jolla Pharmaceutical has entered an agreement under which it will receive $66 million from a group of outside investors who will end up owning more than half of the cash-strapped firm. The firm's Riquent lupus treatment has received “fast track” status from FDA.

La Jolla says the money should last for two years and get the company through the trial.
