NEW YORK, Jan. 27, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Law Offices of Vincent Wong announce that a class action lawsuit has been commenced in the USDC for the District of Massachusetts on behalf of investors who purchased Inotek Pharmaceuticals Corporation (NASDAQ:ITEK) securities between July 23, 2015 and December 30, 2016.

According to the complaint, throughout the Class Period, Inotek misrepresented the efficacy of its drug candidate trabodenoson—the only drug Inotek currently has in its clinical development pipeline—and its attendant capacity to receive New Drug Approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. In particular, it is alleged that the Company made positive statements about the drug despite knowledge that the MATrX-1 phase 3 clinical trial of trabodenoson would fail to meet its primary endpoint of statistical relevance in the reduction of intraocular pressure compared with placebo.
On January 3, 2017, Inotek announced that the Phase 3 trial of trabodenoson had failed to achieve this primary endpoint. Following this news, shares of Inotek fell from a closing price of $6.10 on December 30, 2016, to a closing price of $1.75 per share on January 3, 2017.
