San Diego, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 09/19/2018 -- An investigation was announced over whether Menlo Therapeutics Inc. (NASDAQ: MNLO) or certain of its officers and directors violated federal securities.

Redwood City, CA based Menlo Therapeutics Inc., a late-stage biopharmaceutical company, focuses on the development and commercialization of serlopitant for the treatment of pruritus associated with dermatologic conditions in the United States. Menlo Therapeutics Inc. went public in early 2018.

On April 9, 2018, Menlo Therapeutics Announces Results from a Phase 2 Trial of Serlopitant for Pruritus Associated with Atopic Dermatitis.

Menlo Therapeutics Inc disclosed that Phase 2 clinical trial of serlopitant for the treatment of pruritus in adults and adolescents with a history of atopic dermatitis failed to meet its primary or key secondary efficacy endpoints. The trial showed no statistically significant difference between patients treated with serlopitant and patients treated with placebo.

The investigation by a law firm concerns whether Menlo Therapeutics Inc's filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with the IPO contained untrue statements of material fact or omitted material information, specifically regarding the Company's second Phase 2 clinical trial of patients treated with serlopitant.

Those who purchased shares of Menlo Therapeutics Inc. (NASDAQ: MNLO), have certain options and should contact the Shareholders Foundation.
