$100,000 Threshold: Glancy Prongay & Murray LLP Announces the Filing of a Securities Class Action on Behalf of Celgene Corporation Investors (CELG)

LOS ANGELES, May 24, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Glancy Prongay & Murray LLP (“GPM”) announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed on behalf of investors that purchased or otherwise acquired the securities of Celgene Corporation (“Celgene” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ:CELG) between September 12, 2016 and February 27, 2018, inclusive (the “Class Period”). Celgene investors have until May 29, 2018 to file a lead plaintiff motion.

To obtain information or actively participate in the class action, please visit Celgene page on our website at www.glancylaw.com/case/celgene-corporation. Investors that suffered losses on their Celgene investments are encouraged to contact Lesley Portnoy of GPM to discuss their legal rights in this class action at 310-201-9150 or by email to shareholders@glancylaw.com.

The complaint filed in this class action alleges that throughout the Class Period, defendants made materially false and misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) the trials for GED-0301 suffered from fatal design defects, such that GED-0301 had failed to demonstrate meaningful clinical efficacy; (2) as a result, there was an undisclosed risk and high likelihood that Celgene would be unable to develop GED-0301 into a commercially viable treatment for Crohn’s disease; (3) the growth of Otezla sales had dramatically slowed during Celgene’s third fiscal quarter of 2017; and (4) the clinical and nonclinical pharmacology data in Celgene’s new drug application (“NDA”) for Ozanimod were insufficient to permit a complete review by the FDA, which resulted in the FDA issuing a refusal to file letter to Celgene regarding the NDA. 

On February 27, 2018, Celgene announced that the FDA rejected the Company’s New Drug Application (“NDA”) for Ozanimod, a treatment for multiple sclerosis. Celgene stated that it had received a refusal-to-file letter from the FDA, which advised the Company that the FDA had “determined that the nonclinical and clinical pharmacology sections in the NDA were insufficient to permit a complete review.” On this news, Celgene’s share price fell $8.66, or 9%, on February 28, 2018, thereby injuring investors.
