CancerVax and Micromet merge

Volume 84, Issue 3
CancerVax has agreed to merge with German biopharmaceutical company Micromet. Shareholders of Micromet will own roughly 67.5% of the combined entity, which will be renamed Micromet Inc. CancerVax has struggled to recover after discontinuing development of its lead product, the cancer vaccine Canvaxin, last October.
