01:40 PM Eastern Standard Time, 12/08/2009 (MidnightTrader) — Health care shares are lower in mid-day trading. Endo Pharmaceuticals (ENDP) is lower following a Barclays Capital downgrade. Pharmacyclics (PCYC) is higher after the company said late on Monday it presented positive interim data from a Phase I study of its orally administered Bruton’s tyrosine kinase inhibitor PCI-32765 in patients with relapsed or refractory B-cell non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL) or chronic lymphocytic leukemia. PharmAthene (PIP) plunges after announcing that the Department of Health and Human Services Biomedical Research and Development Authority has canceled its request for proposal for recombinant protective antigen anthrax vaccine for the strategic national stockpile.
