CASE BACKGROUND:
Mereo is a biopharmaceutical company focused on the development of therapies for rare diseases. Its product candidate setrusumab is for the treatment of osteogenesis imperfecta, which is a rare genetic disorder that causes fragile bones.
The complaint alleges that, throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material facts about the company’s business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants misrepresented and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Mereo oversold setrusumab’s efficacy by relying on earlier clinical data that did not support the statements being made about the subsequent clinical trials; (2) Mereo disregarded that neither of the subsequent trials would reach statistical significance against the primary endpoints of reducing fractures compared to the placebo; (3) the company failed to control for either the impacts of the standard of care nor of the placebo effect in the trials; (4) the methods of analyzing and predicting the trial results was based off of limited and incomplete data; and (4) as a result of the foregoing, Defendants’ statements about the company’s business, operations, and prospects were materially false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.
THE LEAD PLAINTIFF PROCESS:
The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 permits any investor who purchased or acquired Mereo American Depositary Shares during the Class Period to seek appointment as lead plaintiff in the Mereo class action lawsuit. A lead plaintiff is a representative party that acts on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation. In order to be appointed lead plaintiff, the Court must determine that the class member’s claim is typical of the claims of other class members, and that the class member will adequately represent the class. Your ability to share in any recovery is not, however, affected by the decision whether or not to serve as a lead plaintiff. Filling out our online form or communicating with any counsel is not necessary to participate or share in any recovery achieved in this case. Any member of the purported class may move the court to serve as a lead plaintiff through counsel of his/her choice, or may choose to do nothing and remain an inactive class member.
