The filed complaint alleges that defendants made false statements and/or concealed that: (i) Altimmune overstated the potential for its lead product candidate, pemvidutide, to stand out from competing glucagon-like peptide-1 agonists based on the drug’s efficacy and tolerability results observed in the MOMENTUM Trial; (ii) accordingly, the MOMENTUM Trial results were less significant to pemvidutide’s clinical, commercial, and competitive prospects than Defendants had led investors to believe; (iii) as a result of all the foregoing, defendants had overstated Altimmune’s prospects for finding a strategic partner to develop pemvidutide; and (iv) as a result, the Company’s public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.
