NEW YORK, April 30, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Attorney Advertising-- Bronstein, Gewirtz & Grossman, LLC reminds investors that a securities class action has been filed in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey on behalf of those who purchased shares of Aerie Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("Aerie" or the "Company") (NasdaqGM: AERI), during the period between August 6, 2014 and April 23, 2015 inclusive (the "Class Period").
The complaint alleges that during the Class Period, defendants made false and misleading statements and/or failed to disclose adverse information regarding the Company's prospects for Rhopressa, including that Rhopressa was not performing as well as timolol and would not lead to commercial success for Aerie.
On April 23, 2015, Aerie Pharmaceuticals reported its Phase 3 trial evaluating its lead product candidate, "Rhopressa™, a novel once-daily, triple-action eye drop being tested for its ability to lower intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with glaucoma or ocular hypertension. The trial did not meet its primary efficacy endpoint of demonstrating non-inferiority of IOP lowering for once-daily Rhopressa™ compared to twice-daily timolol, the most widely used comparator in registration trials for glaucoma."
Following this news, shares of Aerie fell $22.52 or 63.63%, to close at $12.87 on April 24, 2015.
