NEW YORK, September 29, 2016 – Bragar Eagel & Squire, P.C. announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed in the United States District Court for the Massachusetts District Court on behalf of all persons or entities who acquired Seres Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: MCRB) securities between June 22, 2015 to July 29, 2016 (the “Class Period”).
The complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, Seres Therapeutics made materially false and misleading positive statements about the potential and efficacy of its lead drug product candidate SER-109. In particular, it is alleged that Seres touted the drug, calling it one among a “novel class of biological drugs” and a potential “first-in-field drug” despite knowledge that the Phase 2 clinical trial of SER-109 would fail to achieve its primary endpoint as compared to placebo.
On July 29, 2016, the Company issued a press release announcing that the Phase 2 clinical trial of SER-109 did not achieve its primary endpoint. In an earnings call, President and CEO Roger J. Pomerantz also revealed that certain undisclosed modifications had been made to the formulation of SER-109 prior to the trial. Following this news, shares of Seres Therapeutics fell from a close of $35.77 on July 28, 2016, to a close of just $9.73 on August 1, 2016.
