According to the lawsuit, throughout the Class Period Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) the FDA would find Ampio's AP-003-C Phase 3 clinical trial inadequate and not well-controlled; (2) as a result, Ampio had not successfully completed two pivotal clinical trials for Ampion; (3) consequently, Defendants' public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.
On August 7, 2018, during aftermarket hours, Ampio filed a Form 8-K with the SEC providing a regulatory update of the FDA's review of Ampion, including the AP-003-A trial. Ampio stated that it "met with the FDA in July 2018 and have received a letter in response thereto." In the letter, "the FDA stated that…that as a single trial the AP-003-A study alone does not appear to provide sufficient evidence of effectiveness to support a BLA…[and] the FDA does not consider the AP-003-C trial to be an adequate and well-controlled clinical trial." Ampio stated that "[t]he FDA recommended that [it] perform an additional randomized trial with a concurrent control group and that [it] request a Special Protocol Assessment to obtain FDA concurrence of the trial design before beginning the study."
On this news, Ampio stock fell $2.25 per share, or over 78%, from its previous closing price to close at $0.61 per share on August 8, 2018, damaging investors.
