May 19, 2004 - An investor in shares of Allos Therapeutics Inc (NASDAQ: ALTH) filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado against Allos Therapeutics Inc over alleged violations of Federal Securities Laws in connection with certain allegedly false and misleading statements made between May 29, 2003 and May 3, 2004.
The complaint alleges that Allos Therapeutics Inc misled the investing public by issuing a series of materially false and misleading statements highlighting the purported efficacy of Allos Therapeutics Inc's radiation sensitizer RSR13 ("Efaproxiral") for the treatment of brain metastases in patients with breast cancer, as well as the likelihood that this drug would receive approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA"). On April 30, 2004 and May 3, 2004, it was announced by the Oncologic Drugs Advisory Committee ("ODAC") of the FDA, that it concluded by a 16-1 vote, to recommend that the FDA not approve Efaproxiral. In recommending rejection of Efaproxiral, the ODAC found that "the evidence of drug efficacy needs to be much stronger to be convincing."
As a result of this announcement, the price of Allos Therapeutics Inc (NASDAQ: ALTH) shares fell $2.09, or 45% to close at $2.55 on extraordinary volume.
