SHAREHOLDER ALERT: Bronstein, Gewirtz & Grossman, LLC Notifies Investors of Class Action Against INSYS Therapeutics, Inc. (INSYS) and Lead Plaintiff Deadline: April 4, 2016

NEW YORK, Feb. 4, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Attorney Advertising -- Bronstein, Gewirtz & Grossman, LLC notifies investors of class action against INSYS Therapeutics, Inc. ("Insys" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: INSY) and certain of its officers.   The class action filed in United States District Court of Arizona is on behalf of a class consisting of all persons or entities who purchased Insys securities between March 3, 2015 and January 25, 2016, inclusive (the "Class Period").  Such investors are advised to contact Peretz Bronstein or his investor relations analyst, Yael Hurwitz at [email protected] or 212-697-6484.

Insys is a commercial-stage specialty pharmaceutical company that focuses on the development and marketing of supportive care products, designed to help patients with pain management attributable to their disease, treatment, or therapy.  Insys's main product and source of revenue is Subsys, a sublingual fentanyl spray designed to treat breakthrough cancer pain ("BTCP") in opioid-tolerant patients.

The Complaint alleges that Insys made materially false and misleading statements to investors and/or failed to disclose that: (i) the Company was engaged in the illegal and improper off-labeling marketing of Subsys; (ii) certain Insys employees—including Defendant Michael L. Babich, the President and Chief Executive Officer of Insys during much of the Class Period—were complicit in an illegal kickback scheme operated for the purpose of increasing prescriptions of Subsys; and (iii) as a result, the Company's financial statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.

On January 25, 2016, the Southern Investigating Report Foundation ("SIRF") published an article entitled "The Brotherhood of Thieves: Insys Therapeutics," alleging that Insys pressured employees to develop new schemes to promote the illegal and inappropriate off-label use and sale of Subsys. This article follows a June 25, 2015 New York Times article that published the guilty conviction of a Connecticut nurse who accepted over $83,000 in inducements from Insys as payment for prescribing over $1 million of Subsys prescriptions.

Following this news, Insys shares fell $1.07 per share, or nearly 5%, to close at $21.58 per share on January 25, 2016.
