Event Summary

Levi & Korsinsky has initiated a class action securities lawsuit against Filana Therapeutics, Inc. The lawsuit alleges securities fraud between February 7, 2024, and November 24, 2024. This stems from Filana Therapeutics' statements regarding its drug candidate, simufilam, for Alzheimer's Disease. On November 25, 2024, Filana Therapeutics released topline results for its 'ReThink-ALZ' Phase 3 study, indicating that simufilam failed to meet its primary, secondary, and exploratory endpoints, performing no better than a placebo. Following this news, Filana Therapeutics' stock price plummeted from $26.48 to $4.30 per share, an 83.76% decline in one day. Investors have until February 10, 2025, to request to be appointed as lead plaintiff in the lawsuit.
