Applied Therapeutics, Inc. (APLT) Investigation:
The investigation focuses on Applied Therapeutics' statements about the data and regulatory approval process for AT-007, an intended treatment for patients having a rare disorder (galactosemia) that affects how the body processes galactose.
Specifically, in the past, Applied Therapeutics has claimed that its "extensive" FDA interactions supported the company's design of the AT-007 program and its use of biomarker data would support the submission of a new drug application ("NDA") to the FDA.
The company's claims came into question on July 1, 2020, when an anonymous short seller posted an online research report that accused Applied Therapeutics of misrepresenting data on AT-007 to make the proposed therapy appear more effective than it really was. Among other things, the report highlighted several data integrity issues its author considered to be "red flags" and concluded that "Applied Therapeutics stock is wildly overvalued and that its prospects for commercial success of any kind are dim." Within days, Applied Therapeutics publicly denounced the report and its author while, reportedly, quietly amending its investor presentations in a way that bolstered the short seller's accusations.
But, on Jan. 3, 2022, Applied Therapeutics announced it delayed the NDA for AT-007 and blamed the delay on the FDA's likely requirement that the company submit supportive clinical data for AT-007's approval.
This news drove the price of Applied Therapeutics sharply lower.
"We're focused on investors' losses and whether Applied Therapeutics accurately characterized AT-007's data and the company's communications with the FDA," said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the investigation.
