Deadline Alert: Glancy Prongay & Murray LLP Reminds Investors of the Lead Plaintiff Deadline in the Class Action Lawsuit Against Celgene Corporation (CELG)


Glancy Prongay & Murray LLP ("GPM") reminds investors of the May 29, 2018 deadline to file a lead plaintiff motion in the class action filed on behalf of investors that purchased Celgene Corporation ("Celgene" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: CELG) securities between January 12, 2015 and February 27, 2018, inclusive (the "Class Period").

To obtain information or actively participate in the class action, please visit the Celgene page on our website at www.glancylaw.com/case/celgene-corporation. Investors suffering losses on their Celgene 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].

The complaint filedin this class action alleges that throughout the Class Period, defendants made materially false and misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) the trials for GED-0301 suffered from fatal design defects, such that GED-0301 had failed to demonstrate meaningful clinical efficacy; (2) as a result, there was an undisclosed risk and high likelihood that Celgene would be unable to develop GED-0301 into a commercially viable treatment for Crohn's disease; (3) the growth of Otezla sales had dramatically slowed during Celgene's third fiscal quarter of 2017; and (4) the clinical and nonclinical pharmacology data in Celgene's new drug application ("NDA") for Ozanimod were insufficient to permit a complete review by the FDA, which resulted in the FDA issuing a refusal to file letter to Celgene regarding the NDA.



On February 27, 2018, Celgene announced that the FDA rejected the Company's New Drug Application ("NDA") for Ozanimod, a treatment for multiple sclerosis. Celgene stated that it had received a refusal-to-file letter from the FDA, which advised the Company that the FDA had "determined that the nonclinical and clinical pharmacology sections in the NDA were insufficient to permit a complete review." On this news, Celgene's share price fell $8.66, or 9%, on February 28, 2018, thereby injuring investors.
