GSK halts almorexant development

GlaxoSmithKline and its Swiss partner Actelion have announced they are stopping development of an insomia treatment.

Actelion said the decision followed a review of data from clinical trials of the drug, almorexant. There had already been some safety concerns over the treatment, so the news is not exactly a major surprise.
