NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Bragar Eagel & Squire, P.C. reminds investors that a class action
lawsuit has been filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of
Massachusetts on behalf of all persons or entities who purchased or
otherwise acquired Inotek Pharmaceuticals Corporation (NASDAQ:ITEK)
securities between July 23, 2015 and December 30, 2016 (the "Class
Period"). Investors have until March 7, 2017 to apply to the Court to be
appointed as lead plaintiff in the lawsuit.
The Complaint alleges that 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 FDA. 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, Inotek shares declined $4.35 per share, or over 71.3%, on January
3, 2017 to close at $1.75.
If you purchased or otherwise acquired Inotek securities during the
Class Period and suffered a loss or continue to hold shares purchased
prior to the Class Period, have information, would like to learn more
about these claims, or have any questions concerning this announcement
or your rights or interests with respect to these matters, please
contact J. Brandon Walker, Esq. by email at [email protected],
or telephone at (212) 355-4648, or by filling
out this contact form. There is no cost or obligation to you.
