CASE ALLEGATIONS: Applied Therapeutics is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company that engages in the development of novel drug candidates against validated molecular targets in rare diseases. According to the Applied Therapeutics class action lawsuit, on January 3, 2024, defendants announced that Applied Therapeutics submitted a New Drug Application (“NDA”) to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) for govorestat for the treatment of Classic Galactosemia.
The Applied Therapeutics class action lawsuit alleges that defendants throughout the Class Period made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that Applied Therapeutics was not adhering to trial protocol and good clinical practices, which, in turn, created an exceedingly severe risk that the trial data would be rejected by the FDA in the context of an NDA.
The Applied Therapeutics class action lawsuit further alleges that on November 27, 2024, defendants revealed that the FDA issued a Complete Response Letter for the NDA for govorestat which indicated that “the FDA completed its review of the application and determined that it is unable to approve the NDA in its current form, citing deficiencies in the clinical application.” On this news, the price of Applied Therapeutics stock fell more than 80% over three trading sessions, according to the complaint.
Then, on December 2, 2024, the Applied Therapeutics class action lawsuit further alleges that Applied Therapeutics disclosed that it received a warning from the FDA which “identified issues related to electronic data capture” and “refers to a dosing error in the dose-escalation phase of the study resulting in slightly lower levels than targeted in a limited number of patients.” On this news, the price of Applied Therapeutics stock fell more than 26% over three trading sessions, according to the complaint.
