IRVINE, CA / ACCESSWIRE / August 16, 2017 / Khang & Khang LLP (the “Firm”) announces a securities class action lawsuit against IntelliPharmaCeutics International Inc. (“IntelliPharmaCeutics” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: IPCI).

There has been no class certification in this case yet. Until certification occurs, you are not represented by an attorney. You may choose to take no action and remain a passive class member as well.

According to the Complaint, throughout the Class Period, IntelliPharmaCeutics made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose: that the Company failed to conduct a human abuse liability study to support its New Drug Application (“NDA”) for Rexista; that IntelliPharmaCeutics did not include abuse-deterrent studies conducted to suppose abuse-deterrent label claims related to abuse of the drug by various pathways; that the Company was not submitting sufficient data to support approval of the NDA; and that, as a result of the above, the Company’s statements about its business, operations, and prospects were false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.

On July 24, 2017, scientists from the Food & Drug Administration (“FDA”) expressed concerns that the Company failed to provide enough data about the abuse potential of its opioid painkilling drug, Rexista. On July 26, 2017, IntelliPharmaCeutics announced that two advisory committees of the FDA voted 22 to 1 to oppose the Company’s New Drug Application for Rexista, citing insufficient data regarding the abuse-deterrent properties of the drug as a motivating concern. Upon release of this news, the Company’s share price dropped materially, which caused investors harm according to the Complaint.
