What is this all about?
On November 10, 2022, Veru. Inc.'s stock price plunged by over 54% in mid-morning trading after a Food and Drug Administration Advisory Committee voted against recommending Emergency Use Authorization for the Company's COVID-19 pill VERU-111. The case alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the data from the VERU-111 Phase 3 trial and the Company's interactions with the FDA. Specifically, Veru misled its shareholders to believe that the data from the Phase 3 trial was sufficient to support Emergency Use Authorization ("EUA") and even the submission of a New Drug Application ("NDA") without any further studies. VERU's filings therefore concealed the true risks faced by the Company in gaining approval for its EUA request.
If you purchased or acquired Veru shares between May 11, 2022 and November 9, 2022 and have questions about your legal rights or possess information relevant to this matter, please contact Block & Leviton attorneys at (617) 398-5600, via email at cases@blockleviton.com, or visit our website.
