Puma is a biopharmaceutical company that focuses on in-licensing cancer drug candidates that have already undergone or completed clinical testing. The complaint alleges that Puma made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose in violation of the securities laws that: (1) the Company's New Drug Application ("NDA") filing would be for a positive early stage breast cancer indication, instead of the previously announced metastatic breast cancer; (2) Puma would need to submit additional safety data from preclinical carcinogenicity studies with its NDA filing, which Puma did not have; (3) the additional studies required would push the timeline for filing the NDA into the first quarter of 2016; (4) the Company overstated results from its Phase III ExteNET trial; and (5) as a result of the foregoing, Puma lacked a reasonable basis for their positive statements concerning the Company's outlook, as well as the ongoing ExteNET trial. When the truth was revealed, the stock dropped causing damage to investors.
