(NASDAQ:SOMX) slid -3.55% to $1.36 on news yesterday the FDA declined the company’s insomnia drug Silenor for the second time this year; the stock has slide more than 50% since Friday’s close.  The clinical safety of the drug was not an issue for the FDA; however the government agency said the drug candidate did not meet their efficacy standard for sustained subjective sleep required to maintain effectiveness in adults with insomnia.  The next move for the company will be to meet with the FDA for specific guidance to conduct additional clinical work. Undaunted, the company is currently consulting with its clinical and regulatory advisors and will push forward to seek approval and commercialization of the drug candidate.

Last month Somaxon reported that its cash and cash equivalents of $5.4 million as of September 30th, would be sufficient to finance its operations through the FDA’s review of Silenor and through the second quarter of 2010; and as of September 30th the company had no debt.  Headquartered in San Diego, California, Somaxon is a specialty pharmaceutical company focused on the in-licensing and development of proprietary product candidates for the treatment of diseases and disorders in the central nervous system such as insomnia.  Despite the worst of the recession and FDA setbacks, SOMX stock has gained 27% since December 2008.
