The Complaint alleges that during the Class Period, ImmunoCellular violated federal securities laws by making materially false and misleading public statements. In September 2011, ImmunoCellular hired Lidingo Holdings, LLC, a stock promotional firm, to inflate the value of the Company’s shares. As a result, investors were led to believe that the Company’s clinical studies for its lead product candidate, ICT-107, were going well. On December 11, 2013, ImmunoCellular announced that the primary endpoint for its ICT-107 Phase II study “did not reach statistical significance” because it failed to increase overall survival in patients diagnosed with glioblastoma multiforme. When this news was announced, ImmunoCellular’s stock price dropped materially, causing investors harm. On April 10, 2017, as part of a U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission proceeding, the Company’s former CEO Manish Singh acknowledged participating “in a paid stock-touting scheme.”
