DURHAM, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Trimeris, Inc. (Nasdaq: TRMS) today announced financial results for the quarter ended December 31, 2008, reporting net income of $1.5 million, or $0.07 per share compared with $9.1 million, or $0.41 per share for the quarter ended December 31, 2007. This result was primarily driven by decreased FUZEON® sales in 2008, a write-off of certain patents and a non-recurring cost of goods sold credit recognized in the fourth quarter of 2007, offset, in part, by lower operating expenses.
