The Allegations: According to the complaint, during the class period, defendants disclose material facts, regarding the distinction between the Nanobodies and monoclonal antibodies, including that: (1) that SLK (MoonLake's phase 2 drug) and BIMZELX (the FDA approved drug against which SLK would have to demonstrate superior efficacy) share the same molecular targets (the inflammatory cytokines IL-17A and IL-17F); (2) that SLK’s distinct Nanobody structure would not confer a superior clinical benefit over the traditional monoclonal structure of BIMZELX; (3) SLK’s distinct Nanobody structure supposed increased tissue penetration would not translate to clinical efficacy; and (4) based on the foregoing, defendants lacked a reasonable basis for their positive statements regarding SLK’s purported superiority to monoclonal antibodies.
Plaintiff alleges that on September 28, 2025, MoonLake announced week-16 results from its Phase 3 VELA program. The results showed that SLK failed to demonstrate competitive efficacy relative to BIMZELX. Following the announcement, MoonLake’s stock price cratered, falling $55.75 per share, or 89.9%, to close at $6.24 on September 29, 2025.
