SHAREHOLDER ALERT - Bronstein, Gewirtz & Grossman, LLC Notifies Investors of Class Action Against Regulus Therapeutics Inc. (RGLS) and Lead Plaintiff Deadline: April 3, 2017
NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / February 21, 2017 / Bronstein, Gewirtz & Grossman, LLC notifies investors that a class action lawsuit has been filed against Regulus Therapeutics Inc. ("Regulus" or the "Company") (RGLS) and certain of its officers, on behalf of a class who purchased Regulus securities between January 21, 2016 and June 27, 2016, inclusive (the "Class Period"). Such investors are encouraged to join this case by visiting the firm's site: http://www.bgandg.com/rgls.
This class action seeks to recover damages against Defendants for alleged violations of the federal securities laws under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
The Complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about Regulus' business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) patients treated with RG-101 were at higher risk of contracting jaundice; (2) as a result, Regulus had exaggerated RG-101's approval prospects and/or commercial sustainability; and (3) consequently, Regulus's public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.
On June 27, 2016, Regulus released that it had received notice from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") that its new drug for the treatment of chronic hepatitis C virus infection which was under FDA review, is now being put on clinical hold after a second serious case of jaundice was reported. Following this news, Regulus dropped $2.47 per share, or over 49%, to close at $2.54 on June 28, 2016.
A class action lawsuit has already been filed.
