San Diego, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/21/2013 -- A deadline is coming up on November 15, 2013 in the lawsuit filed for investors of OvaScience Inc (NASDAQ:OVAS) over alleged securities laws violations by OvaScience Inc.

Investors with a substantial investment in OvaScience Inc (NASDAQ:OVAS) shares between February 25, 2013 and September 10, 2013, should get active before the Deadline that is coming up on November 15, 2013, and should contact the Shareholders Foundation at mail(at)shareholdersfoundation.com or call +1(858) 779 - 1554.

According to the complaint filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts the plaintiff alleges on behalf of purchasers of OvaScience Inc (NASDAQ:OVAS) between, that OvaScience Inc and certain of its officers and directors violated the Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. More specifically, the plaintiff alleges that OvaScience Inc represented to the Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) and investors that it believed that AUGMENT qualified for designation as a 361 HCT/P, which allows human cellular and tissue based products to be tested and marketed without FDA licensure. However, the plaintiff claims that despite this representation, OvaScience never qualified for this designation.

On September 11, 2013, OvaScience Inc provided a regulatory, manufacturing and international strategy update on AUGMENT, the Company’s product candidate designed to improve egg quality and increase the success of in vitro fertilization. OvaScience Inc said it has chosen to suspend enrollment of AUGMENT in the U.S. while moving forward with its plans for enrollment outside of the U.S. Furthermore, OvaScience Inc said that on September 6, 2013, it received an “untitled” letter from the FDA questioning the status of AUGMENT as a 361 HCT/P and advising the Company to file an Investigational New Drug (“IND”) application.

OvaScience Inc (NASDAQ:OVAS) declined from $14.29 per share on September 10, 2013, to $9.124 per share on September 11, 2013.

The plaintiff seeks to recover damages on behalf of all purchasers of OvaScience Inc (NASDAQ:OVAS) shares between February 25, 2013 and September 10, 2013.

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