The Allegations: Robbins LLP is Investigating Allegations that Applied Therapeutics, Inc. (APLT) Misled Investors Regarding its Lead Drug Candidate
According to the complaint, during the class period, defendants misled investors regarding the Company’s Phase III INSPIRE trial results for govorestat and the drug’s efficacy in treating Galactosemia. Defendants’ statements included, among other things, confidence in the Company’s New Drug Application (NDA) to the FDA for govorestat, submission of a Marketing Authorization Authority to the European Medicines Agency for the same, positive clinical outcomes data from the Phase 3 registrational ACTION-Galactosemia Kids study in children age 2-17 with Galactosemia, the Phase 1/2 ACTION-Galactosemia study in adult patients with Galactosemia, and preclinical data as well as positive interim trial results from the Phase III INSPIRE trial.
The complaint alleges that Applied Therapeutics issued a press release on November 27, 2024, announcing it had received a Complete Response Letter (CRL) for the NDA for govorestat due to deficiencies in the clinical application. On this news, Applied Therapeutics’ common stock fell to $8.57 per share on November 27, 2024, before falling further to $2.03 on November 29, 2024, and $1.75 per share on December 2, 2024, a total decline of more than 80%.
Then, on December 2, 2024, Applied Therapeutics disclosed it received a “warning letter” from the FDA referring to the clinical trial issues underlying the CRL. Applied Therapeutics’ common stock fell again on this news.
