(NASDAQ: CCXI) ("ChemoCentryx") investors that a securities fraud class action lawsuit has been filed on behalf of those who purchased or acquired ChemoCentryx common stock between November 26, 2019 and May 6, 2021, inclusive (the "Class Period").

ChemoCentryx is a biopharmaceutical company focused on the development and commercialization of new medications targeting inflammatory disorders, autoimmune diseases, and cancer. ChemoCentryx's lead drug candidate is avacopan.
The complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, the defendants misrepresented and/or failed to disclose to investors that: (1) ChemoCentryx's design for the ADVOCATE Phase III trial was fundamentally flawed, which raised questions about the interpretability of the trial data and the ability to define a clinically meaningful benefit of avacopan and its role in the treatment of ANCA-associated vasculitis; (2) the results from the ADVOCATE trial raised serious safety concerns for avacopan; and (3) these issues raised significant doubt about the viability of ChemoCentryx's New Drug Application ("NDA") #214487 for avacopan for the treatment of ANCA-associated vasculitis. As a result, the defendants' statements about the ADVOCATE trial design, and efficacy and safety results were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.
ChemoCentryx investors may, no later than July 6, 2021, seek to be appointed as a lead plaintiff representative of the class through Kessler Topaz Meltzer & Check, LLP, or other counsel, or may choose to do nothing and remain an absent class member. A lead plaintiff is a representative party who acts on behalf of all class members in directing the litigation. In order to be appointed as a lead plaintiff, the Court must determine that the class member's claim is typical of the claims of other class members, and that the class member will adequately represent the class. Your ability to share in any recovery is not affected by the decision of whether or not to serve as a lead plaintiff.
