In response to Defendants’ positive representations about the govorestat NDA, Applied’s stock price significantly increased and Defendants took advantage of Applied’s inflated stock price.  The Company sold approximately $100 million in Applied securities through a private placement that valued the Company’s shares at $7 per share. Defendant Shendelman sold Applied shares on the open market for over $4.7 million in net proceeds.” The Complaint further alleges that “unknown to investors, during the Class Period, the FDA had serious concerns about the NDA for govorestat and the study data results supporting the NDA, including undisclosed Dosing Errors and Study Data Deletion . . . issues.  These data integrity issues were sticking points for the NDA for govorestat and were objectionable conditions observed by the FDA during its inspections of the Company and its clinical sites.” The Complaint further alleges that on “November 27, 2024, the truth began to partially be disclosed, when the Company disclosed receipt of a complete response letter [ ] from the FDA stating it was unable to approve the NDA for govorestat in its current form, citing deficiencies in the govorestat NDA, a disclosure that caused the Company’s stock to crash over 80%. On December 2, 2024, the Class Period ends when, after the close of trading, the Company disclosed that it received a Warning Letter . . . from the FDA relating to the NDA for govorestat, a disclosure that caused Applied’s shares to further decline. Shortly after the end of the Class Period, Defendant Shendelman ‘stepped down’ as Chair and CEO of the Company.” Plaintiff seeks to recover damages on behalf of the proposed Class and is represented by Kaplan Fox & Kilsheimer LLP (<a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/Tracker?data=2cHp1TLg_Cpb3t9gOEvRlnG4GDanO-rAEo3D8xXjUnW3t3Yz0AUYQX_BwilEyeAdPTyIPjIuutGE4supgADBjg==">www.kaplanfox.com)</a>.
