Glancy Prongay & Murray Announces the Filing of a Securities Class Action on Behalf of Alcobra Ltd. Investors and Encourages Investors to Contact the Firm

Glancy Prongay & Murray LLP ("GPM") announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed on behalf of investors who purchased Alcobra Ltd. ("Alcobra" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: ADHD) securities between August 13, 2015 and January 17, 2016, inclusive (the "Class Period"). Alcobra investors have until April 18, 2017 to file a lead plaintiff motion.

Investors suffering losses on their Alcobra investments are encouraged to contact Lesley Portnoy of GPM to discuss their legal rights in this class action at 310-201-9150 or by email to [email protected].

Alcobra is a bioparmaceutical company that focuses on the development and commercialization of oral drug candidates.

On January 17, 2017, Alcobra disclosed that the Company's attention deficit hyperactivity disorder drug, Metadoxine Extended Release ("MDX"), did not satisfy its primary endpoint in a Phase 3 trial.

On this news, Alcobra stock fell over 50%, to close at just $0.94 per share on January 17, 2017.

The complaint filed in this class action lawsuit alleges that the Company issued materially misleading statements concerning the Company's second Phase III study for MDX in adults with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder ("ADHD").
