Navidea (NAVB) shares tumbled 36% at $2.23. The company said it received a "complete response letter" from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration about its new drug application Lymphoseek, a lymphatic tracing agent. A complete response letter is sent when a drug application isn't ready for approval.
