Claim deadline- Humanigen (HGEN) has agreed to settle $3M with shareholders to resolve claims related to misrepresenting the prospects and effectiveness of their drug for COVID-19 treatment.
On September 9, 2021, Humanigen announced that the FDA rejected lenzilumab for COVID-19 use due to concerns about its benefits and risks.
This news caused $HGEN to drop by 47% on the same day.
Then, despite optimistic statements about lenzilumab's effectiveness for COVID, Humanigen revealed that the treatment didn't perform as expected in the ACTIV-5/BET- B study.
Because of this, $HGEN fell by 79% on July 13, 2022.
Based on these events, Humanigen was accused of neglecting to reveal the following details:
- Humangen misled about how well lenzilumab worked for hospitalized COVID-19 patients.
- The FDA approval for lenzilumab and the success of the ACTIV-5/BET-B study were not as likely as they stated.
Humanigen has now decided to end these allegations and pay a $3M settlement to the investors.
