with $15.8 million in the third quarter of 2008. Third quarter 2009 collaboration revenue included a $20.0 million milestone payment from Roche associated with initiation of the Phase 2b clinical trial of ITMN-191 in patients chronically infected with HCV. Collaboration revenue in the third quarter a year earlier included a $15.0 million development milestone payment from Roche.

InterMune reported Actimmune® (interferon gamma-1b) revenue in the third quarter of 2009 of $6.5 million, compared with $7.5 million in the same quarter of 2008, a decrease of approximately 15 percent, reflecting lower off-label physician prescriptions of Actimmune for the treatment of IPF, which InterMune does not promote.

Research and development (R&D) expenses in the third quarter of 2009 were $20.6 million compared with $25.6 million in the third quarter of 2008, a decrease of approximately 20 percent, reflecting completion of the CAPACITY clinical trials in early 2009, partially offset by expenses associated with the RECAP extension study and the preparation of the NDA and MAA for pirfenidone. General and administrative (G&A) expenses were $9.9 million in the third quarter of 2009, compared with $8.2 million in the same period a year earlier, an increase of approximately 20 percent, primarily attributed to costs related to preparation for the potential commercialization of pirfenidone, which is subject to regulatory approvals.

InterMune recorded a non-cash loss on extinguishment of debt of $0.7 million in the third quarter of 2009 in connection with the September 2009 exchange of approximately $3.8 million of its 0.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2011 held by certain of its debt holders for shares of the company's common stock. A total of approximately 250,000 shares of common stock were issued in connection with the transaction.

As of September 30, 2009, InterMune had cash, cash equivalents and available-for-sale securitie
