16:25 EDTGSKOn The Fly: Closing Wrap
Stocks on Wall Street were little changed from their opening levels as investors weighed the potential end of the Fed's quantitative easing program against a better than expected report on retail sales. The Wall Street Journal's Jon Hilsenrath suggested in a report over the weekend that the Federal Reserve has mapped a QE exit strategy. The report paired with the retail sales data left the market lacking conviction in either direction today, as the averages spent the majority of the session range-bound near the flatline. ECONOMIC EVENTS: In the U.S., retail sales rose 0.1% in April, which beat expectations for a 0.3% decline. Retail sales excluding autos, gas, and building materials rose 0.6%, which was also better than expected. Business inventories were flat in March, versus expectations for a 0.3% gain. In Asia, Chinese factory output grew 9.3% annually in April, which was up from 8.9% in March but still missed expectations for a 9.5% growth rate. COMPANY NEWS: The Supreme Court ruled unanimously that Monsanto's (MON) patented genetically altered soybeans are protected and that farmers cannot use them to create new seeds without paying the company... Dell's (DELL) special committee publicly asked for more information from Carl Icahn and Southeastern Asset Management about their proposed leveraged recapitalization. This request follows television interviews by Icahn last Friday in which he discussed his Dell proposal, as well as a weekend report in Barron's saying the Icahn and Southeastern plan could be a better deal for shareholders. MAJOR MOVERS: Among the notable gainers was Theravance (THRX), up $6.26, or 17.92%, to $41.20 after Elan Corporation (ELN) bought a stake in the potential future royalty payments from four respiratory programs partnered with GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) in exchange for $1B in cash. Also higher was Tesla (TSLA), which rose $11.04, or 14.38%, to $87.80 in its third straight double-digit percentage gain following a better-than-expected earnings report last week. Among the noteworthy losers was Barnes & Noble (BKS), down $2.21, or 9.48%, to $21.10 after the blog InsiderMonkey disputed a previous report about Microsoft's (MSFT) interest in the bookseller's NOOK assets. Also lower was JoS. A. Bank (JOSB), down $3.31, or 7.16%, to $42.90 after the company's first quarter earnings view came in below expectations. INDICES: The Dow was down 26.81, or 0.18%, to 15,091.68; the Nasdaq was up 2.21, or 0.06%, to 3,438.79; and the S&P 500 was nearly unchanged at 1,633.77.

08:08 EDTPFEPain Therapeutics discloses Pfizer reassessing continued Remoxy partnership
Pain Therapeutics (PTIE) disclosed a letter its CEO was sent from partner Pfizer (PFE) in which the drug maker said it is reassessing its endorsement of the Remoxy program "given the years of delay, additional cost incurred to bring the program to this point and development work left in the program." Pfizer said it will be reaching out to Pain Therapeutics "shortly" to have a confidential discussion about the terms of the companies' contractual agreement over the pain drug. Pfizer that it appears there is a regulatory pathway forward for Remoxy, but that the company does not expect to respond to submit a Complete Response letter for Remoxy to the FDA before mid-2015.

07:46 EDTPFEDURECT says additional clinical studies needed for Remoxy
DURECT (DRRX) announced that Pfizer (PFE) has provided an update on Remoxy in a regulatory filing. Pfizer's disclosure included: "We have been working to address the issues raised in the letter, which primarily relate to manufacturing. We met with the FDA in March 2013 to discuss our plan to address the June 2011 "complete response" letter. We received written guidance from the FDA in May regarding required next steps, including additional clinical studies, to address the letter. Based on this guidance, we are considering our options with respect to Remoxy. If we elect to continue development of Remoxy, we would not expect to submit a response to the 'complete response' letter before mid-2015." DURECT said it understands from Pfizer that additional clinical studies are necessary and include, in part, a pivotal bioequivalence study with the modified formulation to bridge to the clinical data conducted with the original formulation, as well as an abuse potential study with the modified Remoxy formulation. Remoxy is based on DURECT's ORADUR technology. Shares of Pfizer's Remoxy partner Pain Therapeutics (PTIE) are down 56% in pre-market trading, while shares of DURECT are down 13%, or 20c, to $1.39.
