Veru Inc. (NASDAQ: VERU) Investigation:
The investigation focuses on Veru's past statements concerning the development of its orally administered COVID-19 drug, sabizabulin.
More specifically, in Apr. 2022, Veru claimed that results from the randomized placebo-controlled Phase 2 study of daily, oral sabizabulin in patients with severe COVID-19 at high risk of acute respiratory distress syndrome and death showed clinically meaningful reduction in deaths. The company further claimed that "[t]he clinically meaningful and statistically significant reduction in deaths in this high risk population was confirmed in a Phase 3 COVID-19 study which was stopped for overwhelming efficacy based on a planned interim analysis."
The company's claims came into question on Nov. 9, 2022, when Veru announced that the FDA advisory committee ("AdCom") voted against approving sabizabulin under the agency's Emergency Use Authorization ("EUA") pathway. Separately, AdCom's briefing document highlighted "several uncertainties in the data that may impact the clinical interpretation of the efficacy results."
This news sent the price of Veru shares crashing 53% lower in a single trading day.
"We're focused on investors' losses and whether Veru may have misled investors about the data it submitted in support of sabizabulin," said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the investigation.
