Apellis Pharmaceuticals Inc. Common Stock (NASDAQ: APLS)
The Complaint alleges that, throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts, about the company's business and operations. Specifically, the Complaint alleges Defendants misrepresented and/or failed to disclose that: (1) the design of SYFOVRE's clinical trials was insufficient to identify incidents of retinal vasculitis in patients receiving SYFOVRE injections; (2) as a result, the commercial adoption of SYFOVRE was subject to significant, unknown risk factors; and (3) therefore, Defendants' statements about the company's business, operations, and prospects lacked a reasonable basis.
