On September 25, 2017, Genocea disclosed that it was halting spending and activities on GEN-003 and exploring strategic alternatives for the drug.  The Company also announced that it was cutting 40% of its workforce.

If you suffered a loss in Genocea Biosciences you have until January 2, 2018 to request that the Court appoint you as lead plaintiff. Your ability to share in any recovery doesn’t require that you serve as a lead plaintiff.
