According to the law firm press release, the lawsuit alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants issued materially false and misleading statements to investors and/or failed to disclose that: (1) a fewer number of per protocol patients were available for primary endpoint evaluation in the Phase III Study; (2) the data from 72 patients of the Phase III Study was compromised; (3) XBiotech did not adequately sample patients to accommodate data loss; (4) as a result of not properly sampling patients for the Phase III Study, the Phase III Study would have reduced statistical power to demonstrate the proposed outcome; and (5) as a result of the foregoing, Defendants’ statements about its business, operations, and prospects, including statements about the Phase III Study and clinical development of Xilonix, were materially false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.
