Details: In July Altus lost orphan drug status for its experimental pancreatic insufficiency therapy; the FDA said the number of patients with the condition exceeds the 200,000 mark required for an orphan drug. But the real blow came in December when Genentech return the North American rights to ALTU-238, a growth hormone. Altus is looking for another partner for the drug.
