On December 18, 2019, Seligman Research ("Seligman") published a report characterizing Allakos as "A Suspect Biotech with a Phase 2 Farce, Incredulous Trial Investigators, and Warning Signs of Potential Fraud." Among a litany of other issues, the Seligman report accused Allakos of having "buried the results for the two AK001 studies it conducted, but our research indicates a debacle"; having "a checkered history of conducting small, low-credibility trials, marked by a striking level of what we consider to be discrepancies, omissions, cherry-picking, and other red flags"; and engaging in "[f]lagrant nepotism in key clinical roles".
On this news, Allakos's stock price fell $13.25 per share, or 10%, to close at $119.28 on December 18, 2019.
