NEW YORK, Jan. 30, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP, a leading national securities law firm, is investigating potential securities fraud at Regulus Therapeutics Inc. ("Regulus" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:RGLS).

The investigation focuses on whether the Company and its executives violated federal securities laws by misrepresenting the prospects and efficacy of its hepatitis C trial drug, RG-101.

Initially, after market-close on June 27, 2016, Regulus announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") had put RG-101 on clinical hold after a second serious case of jaundice was reported during clinical trial. After the announcement, Regulus's share price fell from $5.01 per share on June 27, 2016 to a closing price of $2.54 on June 28, 2016 —a $2.38 or a 49.3% drop.

Then, after market-close on January 27, 2017, Regulus revealed that the FDA would not reconsider the clinical hold on RG-101 until the agency had received the final safety and efficacy data from ongoing clinical and pre-clinical studies. The Company expects that the requested data will be available in the fourth quarter of 2017. After the announcement, Regulus's share price dropped from $ 2.25 per share on January 27, 2017 to a price of $1.05 on January 30, 2017 or a 53.3% decrease.
