Case Status:    DISMISSED    
On or around 09/27/2021 (Stipulation and order of dismissal (voluntary dismissal))

Filing Date: October 15, 2020

According to the Complaint, Reata Pharmaceuticals, Inc. was formerly known as Reata Discovery, Inc., and changed its name to Reata Pharmaceuticals, Inc. in May 2005. Reata is a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company that develops novel therapeutics for patients with serious or life-threatening diseases by targeting molecular pathways that regulate cellular metabolism and inflammation. Among Reata’s drug candidates under development is omaveloxolone, which is in Phase 2 clinical development to treat Friedreich’s ataxia (“FA”). Following the announcement of positive data from the MOXIe Part 2 study of omaveloxolone for FA in October 2019, the Company represented that it would seek submission for marketing approval of omaveloxolone for the treatment of FA in the U.S. with the FDA.

The Complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and misleading statements regarding the Company's business. Specifically, the Complaint alleges Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) the MOXIe Part 2 study results were insufficient to support a single study marketing approval of omaveloxolone for the treatment of FA in the U.S. without additional evidence; (ii) as a result, it was foreseeable that the FDA would not accept marketing approval of omaveloxolone for the treatment of FA in the U.S. based on the MOXIe Part 2 study results; and (iii) as a result, the Company's public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.

On July 15, 2021, the Court issued an Order appointing Lead Plaintiff and Counsel. Lead Plaintiff voluntarily dismissed the case on September 27.
