AbbVie, Inc. Securities Fraud Class Action
Case Background:
This is a federal securities fraud class action lawsuit on behalf of those who purchased or otherwise acquired AbbVie, Inc. (“AbbVie”) (NYSE: ABBV) securities between April 30, 2021 and August 31, 2021, inclusive (the “Class Period”).
The complaint alleges that, throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, about the company’s business and operations. Specifically, Defendants misrepresented and/or failed to disclose that: (1) safety concerns about Xeljanz extended to Rinvoq and other JAK inhibitors; (2) as a result, it was likely that the FDA would require additional safety warnings for Rinvoq and would delay the approval of additional treatment indications for Rinvoq; and (3) therefore, Defendants’ statements about the company’s business, operations, and prospects lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.
Current Status of Case:
On February 16, 2023, Plaintiff filed a Notice of Voluntary Dismissal, and the Court dismissed the case on January 30, 2024. This action has concluded.
