According to the Complaint, the Company made false and misleading statements to the market. BELLUS misrepresented and/or failed to disclose that BLU-5937's "high selectivity" contributed to the drug potentially being less efficacious and thus likely unable to meet the primary endpoint of the Company's Phase 2 study. As a result, when Defendants announced before markets opened on July 6, 2020, that BLU-5937 had failed the Phase 2 study, the Company's stock price plummeted over 75% on heavy trading volume. Based on these facts, the Company's public statements were false and materially misleading throughout the class period. When the market learned the truth about BELLUS, investors suffered damages.

Join the case to recover your losses.
