Details: In March of 2007, Memory's stock took a hit after researchers announced that its lead drug--MEM 1003--failed to achieve any of its endpoints in a mid-stage study for mania in bipolar patients. Results of the same drug as a therapy for Alzheimer's were no better, and the company's stock suffered another major hit in October when MEM 1003 fell short in demonstrating a statistically significant response for improved symptoms after 12 weeks.
