NEW YORK, May 9, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Pomerantz LLP is investigating claims on behalf of investors of NewLink Genetics Corporation ("NewLink" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: NLNK). Such investors are advised to contact Robert S. Willoughby at [email protected] or 888-476-6529, ext. 237.

On May 9, 2016, post-market, NewLink announced that the Company's experimental pancreatic cancer immunotherapy algenpantucel-L did not meet the main goal in a late-stage study. Patients treated with algenpantucel-L lived for a median of 27.3 months in NewLink's phase III trial, compared to median survival of 30.4 months for patients treated with standard therapy, suggesting that patients might have actually been harmed by NewLink's treatment.
