CASE ALLEGATIONS: Amylyx is a commercial-stage biotechnology company that engages in the discovery and development of treatments for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (“ALS”) and other neurodegenerative diseases. Amylyx’s products include, among others, AMX0035 (commercially referred to as “RELYVRIO” in the United States) for the treatment of ALS in adults in the United States.
The Amylyx class action lawsuit alleges that defendants throughout the Class Period made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) Amylyx and the other defendants had overstated RELYVRIO’s commercial prospects; (ii) patients were discontinuing treatment with RELYVRIO after six months; (iii) the rate at which new patients were starting treatment with RELYVRIO was decreasing; (iv) accordingly, Amylyx and the other defendants had also overstated RELYVRIO’s prescription rate; and (v) Amylyx and the other defendants attempted to hide the foregoing negative trends from investors and the market by blocking analysts from viewing RELYVRIO’s prescription data.
The Amylyx class action lawsuit further alleges that on November 9, 2023, Amylyx announced 2023 financial results, including third quarter GAAP earnings per share of $0.30, missing consensus estimates by $0.12. The complaint also alleges that Amylyx management revealed that, despite “a [purported] steady cadence of new prescriptions written in” the third quarter for RELYVRIO, Amylyx’s “results were impacted by a number of factors” including a “slowdown in net adds” for RELYVRIO in the third quarter, which “was primarily driven by increased discontinuations for a variety of reasons,” with only “60% of people taking RELYVRIO remain[ing] on therapy six months after initiation in the U.S.” On this news, the price of Amylyx stock fell nearly 32%, according to the complaint.
THE LEAD PLAINTIFF PROCESS: The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 permits any investor who purchased or acquired Amylyx securities during the Class Period to seek appointment as lead plaintiff in the Amylyx class action lawsuit. A lead plaintiff is generally the movant with the greatest financial interest in the relief sought by the putative class who is also typical and adequate of the putative class. A lead plaintiff acts on behalf of all other class members in directing the Amylyx class action lawsuit. The lead plaintiff can select a law firm of its choice to litigate the Amylyx class action lawsuit. An investor’s ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff of the Amylyx class action lawsuit.
