Radiopharmaceutical developer Immunomedics is beginning to show some results from its restructuring and the refocusing of its operations (SCAN 4/28/99).

The firms net loss also narrowed to $2.6 million, compared with a loss of $3.4 million in the fourth quarter last year.

The firm trimmed its losses slightly, however, recording a net loss of $11.2 million, compared with $11.8 million in fiscal 1998.
