In June 2003, Myogen licensed the compound from Abbott for its application in the cancer field.[3]

In May 2007, a randomized, double-blind, active control, parallel assignment, safety and efficacy phase III trial was initiated in subjects who had completed the maintenance period of the DAR-312 study, but was terminated because the study did not reach its primary endpoints.[4]
