Drug development services provider Covance and WuXi Pharmatech, a pharmaceutical, biotechnology and medical device research and development outsourcing company, gave no reason for abandoning the 50-50 venture.

WuXi said it will move on its original plan to build a 323,450-square-foot facility in Suzhou, China, that is due to open in the second half of 2009. The building will be used to offer preclinical services and toxicology work.
