Investigation regarding Voyager’s statements about its Investigational New Drug (IND) application for VY-HTT01 for the treatment of Huntington’s disease and the related FDA clinical hold.
11/10/2020
Voyager announced its Q3 2020 financial results, disclosing that the FDA was “requesting additional information on specific CMC topics, including drug-device compatibility and drug substance and product characterization.”
See more on Factual TimelinePlaintiff brings this securities class action on behalf of a class consisting of all persons other than Defendants who purchased or otherwise acquired Voyager securities between June 1, 2017 and November 9, 2020, both dates inclusive.
According to the complaint, defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the company’s business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, defendants allegedly failed to disclose to investors that:
(i) the Company’s VY-HTT01 IND submission to the FDA lacked key information regarding certain chemistry, manufacturing and controls matters, including, inter alia, drug-device compatibility and drug substance and product characterization;
(ii) the Company’s IND submission for VY-HTT01 was therefore deficient;
(iii) the Company had thus materially overstated the likelihood of FDA approval for VY-HTT01 based on the IND submission; and
(iv) as a result, the Company’s public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.
