The investigation is centered on whether Egalet and some of its officers and/or directors have violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
On January 9, 2017, Egalet issued a statement regarding approval for its product Arymo ER. The same day, the U.S. Federal Drug Administration stated that another product MorphaBond “has marketing exclusivity for labeling describing the expected reduction of abuse of single-entity extended-release morphine by the intranasal route due to physicochemical properties.” Due to MorphaBond’s exclusivity within this market, “no other single-entity extended-release morphine product submitted in an abbreviated new drug application or 505(b)(2) application can be approved for that use at this time.”
When this information was revealed to the investing public, the value of Egalet declined, causing investors severe harm.
