Wolf Popper LLP Announces Investigation on Behalf of Investors in Stemline Therapeutics, Inc.

NEW YORK, Feb. 27, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Wolf Popper LLP is investigating potential securities fraud claims on behalf of investors in Stemline Therapeutics, Inc. securities (NASDAQ: STML) during the period January 6, 2017 through February 1, 2017. Such investors are advised to contact Fei-Lu Qian at 877.370.7703 or [email protected].

Several class action lawsuits have already been filed.  If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than April 4, 2017.  A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of class members in directing the litigation.

Stemline is a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company that is currently conducting an ongoing pivotal Phase 2 trial in blastic plasmacytoid dendritc cell neoplasm, using Stemline's experimental compound, SL-401.

On January 20, 2017, Stemline commenced a Secondary Public Offering of 4.5 million shares of its common stock at $10.00 per share.

Less than two weeks later, on February 2, 2017, before the market opened, The Street published an article, disclosing that on January 18, 2017, a cancer patient in the clinical trial of SL-401 had died from capillary leak syndrome, a severe side effect connected to the drug, after receiving "only two of the scheduled five doses of SL-401 of the initial treatment cycle."

Later in the day, the Company admitted that on January 18, 2017, two days prior to the Secondary Offering, "the Company received a report that a patient death had occurred" after developing capillary leak syndrome.

On February 2, 2017, in response to this news, Stemline common stock plummeted $4.15 per share or 42%, to close at $5.60 per share.
