Case Background:
This is a federal securities fraud class action lawsuit on behalf of those who purchased or otherwise acquired Intercept Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Intercept”) common stock between September 27, 2019 and October 7, 2020, inclusive (the “Class Period”).
The complaint alleges that, throughout the Class Period, Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) the Defendants downplayed the true scope and severity of safety concerns associated with Ocaliva’s use in treating PBC; (2) the foregoing increased the likelihood of an FDA investigation into Ocaliva’s development, thereby jeopardizing Ocaliva’s continued marketability and the sustainability of its sales; (3) any purported benefits associated with OCA’s efficacy in treating NASH were outweighed by the risks of its use; (4) as a result, the FDA was unlikely to approve Intercept’s NDA for OCA in treating patients with liver fibrosis due to NASH; and (5) as a result of the foregoing, Intercept’s public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.
Current Status of Case:
On March 21, 2022, the Court granted Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss the Complaint. This action has concluded.
