Item 8.01   Other Events
In September 2010 the Company disclosed results from the forodesine pivotal study in CTCL, interim results from the Phase 2 exploratory study in CLL, and the Company’s intention to determine if there is interest by a partner in the US to continue with further development, regulatory filing and commercialization. To date, the Company has not found an interested partner. The Company shared this information with its partner, Mundipharma, along with the Company’s decision not to continue further development of forodesine in the US. Mundipharma has expressed disappointment regarding the development of forodesine and this outcome. On February 21, 2011 we received a letter from Mundipharma’s legal counsel notifying us that they intended to utilize the dispute resolution provisions of our agreement with them, which includes meetings of senior management and the later possibility of arbitration.
