Human Genome Sciences (NASDAQ:HGSI) shares are falling Friday after documents showed the Food and Drug Administration may have doubts about the benefits of the lupus drug Benlysta.
The FDA plans to ask an advisory panel whether the benefits of the drug outweigh the risks on Tuesday.
Benlysta studies showed increase risk of suicide, compared to a placebo.
Human Genome is partnered with GlaxoSmithKline (NYSE:GSK) on Benlysta, which could be a lucrative product for the companies if approved.

The company is a 4.72% holding of the First Trust NYSE Arca Biotechnology Index Fund (AMEX:FBT).
