NEW YORK, Nov. 1, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Attorney Advertising -- Bronstein, Gewirtz & Grossman, LLC notifies investors that a class action lawsuit has been filed against Genocea Bioscience, Inc. ("Genocea" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: GNCA) and certain of its officers, on behalf of a class who purchased or otherwise acquired Genocea securities between May 5, 2017 and September 25, 2017, both dates inclusive (the "Class Period"). Such investors are encouraged to join this case by visiting the firm's site: www.bgandg.com/gnca.

This class action seeks to recover damages against Defendants for alleged violations of the federal securities laws under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

The Complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Genocea's finances were insufficient to support Phase 3 trials of GEN-003; (2) as a result, Genocea had overstated the prospects for GEN-003; and (3) consequently, Genocea's public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.

Following this news, Genocea stock dropped $4.08 per share, or 76.5%, to close at $1.25 on September 26, 2017.
