On Monday, Shares of Eli Lilly and Co (NYSE:LLY), lost -7.77% to $79.45. 26.47 million shares of the company were exchanged.
Eli Lilly and Company (LLY) and the ACCELERATE study’s academic leadership have accepted the recommendation of the independent data monitoring committee to terminate the Phase 3 trial of the investigational medicine evacetrapib, due to insufficient efficacy. Lilly will discontinue development of evacetrapib for the treatment of high-risk atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease and will now conclude other studies in the program.
The independent data monitoring committee based its recommendation on data from periodic data reviews, which suggested there was a low probability the study would achieve its primary endpoint based on results to date. The study is not being stopped for safety findings. After further analysis, results of the study will be presented in scientific forums in the future.
The decision to discontinue development of evacetrapib is predictable to result in a fourth-quarter charge to research and development expense of up to $90 million (pre-tax), or about $0.05 per share (after-tax). The company will incorporate this estimated charge into its updated 2015 guidance that will be offered as part of its third quarter 2015 earnings press release on Thursday, Oct. 22, 2015.
Eli Lilly and Company discovers, develops, manufactures, and sells pharmaceutical products worldwide. It operates through two segments, Human Pharmaceutical Products and Animal Health Products.

About a month into the job, Sprint Corp. CFO Tarek Robbiati has laid out plans to make cuts to the wireless carrier’s “bloated” cost structure, Bloomberg reports.
This comprises cutting 10 percent of operating costs to save $2 billion and finding savings of $500 million by reducing equipment spending, the report says.
The effort will bring a hiring freeze and job cuts, though it’s unclear how that will affect Sprint’s 6,300 Kansas City-area employees.
Robbiati is in Tokyo meeting with officials from Sprint parent SoftBank Group Corp. The visit — and the cost-cutting moves — reflect the urgency Sprint faces to right its financial ship, the report says.
Analysts predict Sprint will see losses every quarter through 2018. They are skeptical that Sprint can simultaneously cut costs, improve its network and add subscribers, the report says.
Sprint Corporation, through its auxiliaries, provides various wireless and wireline communications products and services to consumers, businesses, government subscribers, and resellers in the United States, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
