The news sent the company’s stock to its lowest level since March 2009. NeurogesX hasn’t reported a profit since the company began selling shares in 2007, and the stock has fallen 83 percent in the past year.

Advisors are scheduled to meet with regulators tomorrow, and a final decision is expected by March 7.
