SHAREHOLDER ALERT: Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP Encourages Investors Who Suffered Losses In Excess Of $100,000 Investing In Seres Therapeutics, Inc. To Contact The Firm Before Lead Plaintiff Deadline
NEW YORK, Oct. 31, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP, a leading national securities law firm, reminds investors in Seres Therapeutics, Inc. ("Seres" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:MCRB) of the November 28, 2016 deadline to seek the role of lead plaintiff in a federal securities class action lawsuit filed against the Company and certain officers.
The lawsuit has been filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts on behalf of all those who purchased Seres stock or options between June 25, 2015 and July 29, 2016 (the "Class Period"). The case, Mazurek v. Seres Therapeutics, Inc. et al, No. 1:16-cv-11943 was filed on September 28, 2016, and has been assigned to Judge Denise J. Casper.
The lawsuit focuses on whether the Company and its executives violated federal securities laws by making materially false and misleading positive statements about the potential and efficacy of its lead drug product candidate SER-109.
Specifically, July 29, 2016, the Company announced that SER-109 had failed to reach its primary endpoint of reducing the relative risk of CDI recurrence at up to 8-weeks when compared to a placebo. Based on 8-week data, CDI recurrence occurred in 44 percent of subjects (26 of 59) who received SER-109, compared to percent of subjects (16 of 30) who received placebo. According to the Company, the relative risk of CDI recurrence for the placebo population compared to the SER-109 population was not statistically significant.
After the announcement, Seres's share price fell from $35.77 per share on July 28, 2016 to a closing price of $9.73 on August 1, 2016 —a $26.04 or a 72.8% drop.
