The Progenics Events page also includes data presented at the recent Digestive Disease Week 2012 meeting in San Diego by an investigator in a Phase 3 trial sponsored by Progenics and its methylnaltrexone collaboration partner, Salix Pharmaceuticals, to evaluate the efficacy and safety of oral methylnaltrexone for the treatment of opioid-induced constipation in subjects with chronic, non-cancer pain.
