DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, defendants throughout the Class Period made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Altimmune overstated the potential for its lead product candidate, pemvidutide, a glucagon-like peptide-1 (“GLP-1”), to stand out from competing GLP-1 agonists based on the drug’s efficacy and tolerability results observed in evaluating pemvidutide for the treatment of obesity (the “MOMENTUM Trial”); (2) accordingly, the MOMENTUM trial results were less significant to pemvidutide’s clinical, commercial, and competitive prospects than defendants had led investors to believe; (3) as a result of all the foregoing, defendants had overstated Altimmune’s prospects for finding a strategic partner to develop pemvidutide; and (4) as a result, Altimmune’s public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.
