According to the law firm press release, Tokai Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("Tokai" or the Company) is a biopharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing innovative therapies for prostate cancer and other hormonally driven diseases. The Company’s lead drug candidate is galeterone, an oral small molecule that was, at all relevant times, in various clinical trials for the treatment of patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer.

The Complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and misleading statements regarding the Company’s business, operations and compliance policies. Specifically, Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) there were significant structural problems with the trial design for Tokai’s pivotal Phase 3 galeterone study, ARMOR3-SV; (ii) consequently, ARMOR3-SV was unlikely to succeed in meeting its primary endpoint; (iii) as a result, commercialization of galeterone was less likely and/or imminent than Tokai had led investors to believe; and (iv) as a result of the foregoing, the Company’s financial statements, as well as Defendants’ statements about Tokai’s business, operations, and prospects, were false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.

This case was transferred to the District of Massachusetts on October 3, 2016.

On September 28, 2017, the Court issued an Order consolidating cases for pretrial purposes only.
