REDWOOD CITY, Calif. - Threshold Pharmaceuticals Inc., a development-stage biotechnology company, said late Thursday its third-quarter loss widened on higher research, development, and interest expenses.
The company lost $6.2 million, or 40 cents per share, compared with a loss of $4.6 million, or 49 cents per share, during the year-ago period.
Threshold reported no revenue, compared with $362,000 a year prior.
Operating expenses rose 4 percent to $5.2 million as the company continued developing its potential cancer treatment TH-302. Meanwhile, interest expense surged to $957,000 from $13,000.
Just as Lawrence Kazmerski, a top official at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, was about to give the keynote address at the University of Minnesota's annual E3 conference at the RiverCentre in St. Paul, the lights went out, bathing the audience in darkness and a deep sense of irony.
