No class has been certified in the above action yet. Until certification occurs, you are not represented by an attorney. You may choose to take no action and remain a passive class member.
The Complaint alleges Ophthotech issued deceptively positive reports about the success and potential of its treatment Fovista, used in combination with Lucentis, an anti-vascular endothelial growth factor agent on the market, despite knowing that the phase 3 clinical trial of Fovista would be unsuccessful in achieving its primary endpoint. According to the Complaint, these statements caused Ophthotech stock to trade at artificially inflated prices.
On December 12, 2016, Ophthotech revealed that the trial had failed to achieve its primary endpoint. When this news was released to the investing public, the value of Ophthotech stock fell, causing investors harm.
This press release may be considered Attorney Advertising in some jurisdictions under the applicable law and ethical rules.
