BENSALEM, Pa.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–$HRTX #classaction–Law Offices of Howard G. Smith announces that a class action lawsuit has
been filed on behalf of investors who purchased Heron Therapeutics,
Inc. (“Heron Therapeutics” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: HRTX)
securities between October 31, 2018 and April 30, 2019, inclusive
(the “Class Period”). Heron Therapeutics investors have until August
5, 2019 to file a lead plaintiff motion.
Investors suffering losses on their Heron Therapeutics investments are
encouraged to contact the Law Offices of Howard G. Smith to discuss
their legal rights in this class action at 888-638-4847 or by email to [email protected].
On May 1, 2019, the Company confirmed receipt of a Complete Response
Letter from the FDA in which the FDA was unable to approve the Company’s
New Drug Application for a new postoperative pain medication it had been
developing, due to the need for additional information.
On this news, shares of Heron Therapeutics fell $3.93 per share, or over
18%, to close at $17.75 on May 1, 2019, thereby injuring investors.
The complaint filed in this class action alleges that throughout the
Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading
statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about
the Company’s business, operations, and prospects. Specifically,
Defendants failed to disclose to investors: (1) the Company had failed
to include adequate Chemistry, Manufacturing, and Controls and
non-clinical information in its New Drug Application (“NDA”) with the
U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) for HTX-011; (2) the foregoing
increased the likelihood that the FDA would not approve the Company’s
NDA for HTX-011; and (3) as a result, defendants’ public statements were
materially false and/or misleading at all relevant times.
If you purchased shares of Heron Therapeutics, have information, would
like to learn more about these claims, or have any questions concerning
this announcement or your rights or interests with respect to these
matters, please contact Howard G. Smith, Esquire, of Law Offices of
