Lpath's kidney cancer drug fails mid-stage trial

(Reuters) - Drug developer Lpath Inc said its experimental drug to treat renal cell carcinoma, the most common form of kidney cancer, failed in a mid-stage trial.



Patients taking the drug, Asonep, did not show significant survival rates without the disease worsening.



Lpath shares were down 39 percent in after-market trading on Tuesday.
