According to the Complaint, Prothena made false and misleading statements to the marketplace. The Company withheld clinical trial data demonstrating that its antibody, NEOD001, was not a clinically effective treatment for AL amyloidosis. The Company also made misleading comparisons of NEOD001’s “best response” rate against prior studies. Prothena made misleading statements about the ongoing Phase 1/2 study of NEOD001, stating that the study would create a strong foundation for late-stage Phase 2b and Phase 3 studies of the antibody, while the full Phase 1/2 data showed the antibody was not an effective treatment. According to the lawsuit, when accurate information about the Company became apparent in the market, investors suffered damages.
