	FDA rejects Corixa drug - Mar. 13, 2002
		Corixa (CRXA: down $3.48 to $6.15, Research, Estimates) said it received a letter from the FDA that said data for Bexxar, a low-grade non-Hodgkin's lymphoma treatment, did not "provide sufficient evidence of the safety and net clinical benefit" of the drug and that new clinical trials would be needed.
		According to Corixa, the FDA also decided there was not enough evidence to prove Bexxar addresses an unmet medical need, eliminating the possibility of fast-track approval.
		The drug was on track for approval by early to mid-2001 when Corixa agreed to buy Coulter, including the rights to Bexxar.
