HENDERSONVILLE, TN / ACCESSWIRE / October 15, 2019 / The Law Offices of Timothy L. Miles, who has been leading the fight to protect shareholder rights for over 18 years, announces that a purchaser of Vanda Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NASDAQ:VNDA) filed a derivative complaint against the company's officers and directors for breaches of fiduciary duties, unjust enrichment, and waste of corporate assets beginning in November 2015. Vanda Pharmaceuticals Inc. is a biopharmaceutical company that focuses on the development and commercialization of products for the treatment of central nervous system disorders.
Vanda Pharmaceuticals Used its Drugs for Off-Label Purposes
According to the complaint, since November 2015, Vanda and its officers have breached theirfiduciary duties by failing to disclose to investors that Vanda was involved in a fraudulent scheme that included violations of federal Medicare, Medicaid, and Tricare programs and that Vanda's promotional materials were false and misleading, garnering scrutiny from the FDA. Specifically, Vanda schemed to promote its drugs Fanapt and Hetlioz for "off-label" uses in addition to other prohibited promotional strategies. The complaint alleges that Vanda's executives and officers knew about the prohibited promotional strategies and actively participated in the fraudulent activity. As a result, Vanda is facing significant liability from a Qui Tam lawsuit and has already incurred substantial expenses in its investigation. Vanda has also been named as a defendant in a Securities Class Action lawsuit, causing further damage to the company.
