According to the complaint the plaintiff alleges on behalf of purchasers of Flex Pharma, Inc.

More specifically, the plaintiff claims that between November 6, 2017 and June 12, 2018, the defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that Flex Pharma overstated the viability and approval prospects for its product candidate FLX-787 for the treatment of ALS and CMT, and that as a result, Flex Pharma's public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.
