SAN DIEGO, CA / ACCESSWIRE / February 21, 2017 / The Shareholders Foundation, Inc. announces that a lawsuit was filed on behalf of certain purchasers of (NASDAQ: AGRX) shares over alleged Securities Laws Violations by Agile Therapeutics Inc.

Investors who purchased shares of Agile Therapeutics Inc. (NASDAQ: AGRX) in 2015 and currently hold any of those (NASDAQ: AGRX) shares have certain options and should contact the Shareholders Foundation at mail@shareholdersfoundation.com or call +1(858) 779 - 1554.

On January 3, 2017, Agile Therapeutics Inc. announced results from its Phase 3 SECURE clinical trial of Twirla®, its investigational low-dose combined hormonal contraceptive patch. The study, which was initiated at the request of the FDA, comes after the FDA rejected Agile's initial marketing application back in 2013. The Company cited "positive top-line results" in the study, yet reported that almost 2% of subjects experienced "serious adverse events," including "deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, gallbladder disease, ectopic pregnancy and depression."

On January 6, 2017, a lawsuit was filed against Agile Therapeutics Inc. over alleged securities laws violations. The plaintiff alleges that the defendants allegedly failed to disclose that the Twirla contraceptive patch had an efficacy rating that fell below peer group standards, that over half of patients in its "Secure" Phase 3 Study discontinued the study early, that the Twirla patch therefore allegedly had a slight chance of FDA approval, and that, as a result of the foregoing, defendants' statements about Agile Therapeutics' business, operations, and prospects were false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.

Those who purchased shares of Agile Therapeutics Inc. (NASDAQ: AGRX) in 2015 and currently hold any of those (NASDAQ: AGRX) shares have certain options and should contact the Shareholders Foundation, Inc.
