SHAREHOLDER ALERT: Pomerantz Law Firm Investigates Claims On Behalf of Investors of DURECT Corporation - DRRX
NEW YORK, Feb. 14, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Pomerantz LLP is investigating claims on behalf of investors of DURECT Corporation ("DURECT" or the "Company")(NasdaqGS: DRRX). Such investors are advised to contact Robert S. Willoughby at [email protected] or 888-476-6529, ext. 237.
The investigation concerns whether DURECT and certain of its officers and/or directors have violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
On Wednesday, February 12, 2014, DURECT announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") has issued a Complete Response Letter for POSIDUR™ (SABER®-Bupivacaine), an investigational drug for administration into the surgical site to produce post-surgical analgesia. The Company stated that, "based on its review, the FDA has determined that they cannot approve the NDA in its present form, stating the NDA does not contain sufficient information to demonstrate that POSIDUR is safe when used in the manner described in the proposed label, and the FDA has indicated that additional clinical safety studies need to be conducted."
On this news, DURECT shares fell $0.40 per share to $1.55, or more than 20.51%, on February 13, 2014.
