AKERO THERAPEUTICS INVESTIGATION INITIATED BY FORMER LOUISIANA ATTORNEY GENERAL: Kahn Swick & Foti, LLC Investigates the Officers and Directors of Akero Therapeutics, Inc. - AKRO

NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 6, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Former Attorney General of Louisiana, Charles C. Foti, Jr., Esq., a partner at the law firm of Kahn Swick & Foti, LLC ("KSF"), announces that KSF has commenced an investigation into Akero Therapeutics, Inc. (NasdaqGS: AKRO).

On October 10, 2023, the Company, a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company that was founded to develop transformational medicines for patients with serious metabolic diseases that lack effective treatment options, disclosed the results of its Phase 2b SYMMETRY trial for its lead product candidate efruxifermin ("EFX"), revealing that the study had failed to meet its primary endpoint. Thereafter, the Company and certain of its executives were sued in a securities class action lawsuit, charging them with failing to disclose material information during the Class Period in violation of federal securities laws, which remains ongoing.

KSF's investigation is focusing on whether Akero's officers and/or directors breached their fiduciary duties to its shareholders or otherwise violated state or federal laws.
