What’s the deal with Azopharma?

US contract pharmaceutical developer Azopharma has not yet confirmed or denied industry rumours that it has gone bankrupt.

According to numerous posts on the Topix message board, the Florida-headquartered company closed its doors for the last time last Friday, sending home its workforce of more than 100 employees.

Outsourcing-pharma, which also received a reader question about Azopharma’s current status, has yet to hear back from the firm despite several telephone calls and emails.

No information is provided on Azopharma’s website, although the landing page still lists the firm as an attendee at next week’s Interphex conference in New York.
