RDEA cuts workforce by 47% and has apparently dropped RDEA806 in HIV:

Despite a detailed pipeline update in this PR, there is no mention of the RDEA806 program in HIV, which leads me believe that the program is effectively dead. I presume that RDEA shopped the program to various partners and found no interest. (RDEA had previously stated that it would not advance the program into phase-2b without a partner.)

The RDEA806 program in gout remains fully active, and the company has evidently settled on gout and cancer as its new foci.
