TherapeuticsMD is a women’s health care company focused on creating and commercializing products targeted exclusively for women. The Company is focused on pursuing regulatory approvals and pre-commercialization activities necessary for the commercialization of its advanced hormone therapy pharmaceutical products.
One of TherapeuticsMD’s leading product candidates is TX-004HR. On July 7, 2016, the Company announced that it had filed its New Drug Application (“NDA”) for TX-004HR with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The NDA seeks approval of TX-004HR for the treatment of moderate-to-severe vaginal pain during sexual intercourse (dyspareunia), a symptom of vulvar and vaginal atrophy due to menopause.
The Complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and misleading statements regarding the Company’s business, operational and compliance policies. Specifically, Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) the Company’s NDA submission for TX-004HR was deficient; (ii) the Company’s NDA submission for TX-004HR was not supported by the complete TX-004HR clinical program and/or the clinical program was deficient; (iii) as a result of the foregoing, TherapeuticsMD’s public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.
On April 10, 2017, pre-market, the Company issued a press release (“April 2017 Press Release”) advising investors that “the Company received a letter from the FDA [regarding TX-004HR] stating that, as part of its ongoing review of the NDA, the FDA has identified deficiencies that preclude discussion of labeling and postmarketing requirements/commitments at this time.”
On this news, TherapeuticsMD’s price share fell $1.50, or 19.48%, to close at $6.20 on April 10, 2017.
On May 8, 2017, TherapeuticsMD issued a press release announcing the FDA’s rejection of the NDA for TX-004HR.
On this news, TherapeuticsMD’s price share fell $0.49, or 10.49%, to close at $4.18 on May 8, 2017.
