WASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Cohen Milstein Sellers & Toll PLLC is conducting an investigation to determine whether Novan, Inc. (“Novan” or the “Company”) and certain of its officers and directors made false or misleading statements and/or omissions in violation of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or committed violations of Sections 11 and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933.
Class action lawsuits have been filed in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina by other law firms on behalf of purchasers of the common stock of Novan, Inc. (NASDAQ: NOVN) between September 26, 2016 and August 1, 2017, inclusive (the “Class Period”), including those who purchased shares pursuant or traceable to the Company’s September 26, 2016 initial public offering (“IPO”).
The claims in these cases followed the announcement of results from two Phase 3 clinical trials of SB204, a topical gel for the treatment of acne vulgaris. The complaint alleges that Novan and certain of its officers, directors and underwriters (“Defendants”) misrepresented and/or failed to disclose that: (1) the two Phase 3 clinical trials for SB204 were not identical; (2) one of the Phase 3 trials included a specific patient population of women on oral contraceptives; (3) the FDA had requested Novan test SB204 in women on oral contraceptives; (4) the inclusion of women on oral contraceptives in the trials was likely to impact the results.
On January 27, 2017, Novan announced top-line results from the Phase 3 trials of SB204. In one of the trials, the drug met all three primary endpoints. However, the other trial only met one of the three primary endpoints.
The price of Novan shares fell from $18.70 on January 26, 2017 to $4.86 on January 27, 2017. The price at the filing of the first complaint on November 3, 2017 was $6.33.
Cohen Milstein encourages all investors who purchased Novan common stock pursuant or traceable to the IPO, and/or between September 26, 2016 and August 1, 2017; or former employees with information concerning this matter to contact the firm.
