According to the complaint filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts the plaintiff alleges on behalf of purchasers of Inotek Pharmaceuticals Corp (NASDAQ:ITEK) common shares between July 23, 2015 and December 30, 2016, that the defendants violated Federal Securities Laws. More specifically, the plaintiff claims that between July 23, 2015 and December 30, 2016. Inotek Pharmaceuticals Corp misrepresented the efficacy of its drug candidate trabodenoson—the only drug Inotek Pharmaceuticals Corp currently has in its clinical development pipeline—and its attendant capacity to receive New Drug Approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. In particular, it is alleged that Inotek Pharmaceuticals Corp made positive statements about the drug despite knowledge that the MATrX-1 phase 3 clinical trial of trabodenoson would fail to meet its primary endpoint of statistical relevance in the reduction of intraocular pressure compared with placebo.
