The Complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, Kitov made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that the Company and its CEO Isaac Israel, published misleading information concerning the conduct of the Company’s clinical trials for its lead drug candidate, KIT-302, and consequently, Kitov’s public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times. On February 6, 2017, Calcalist, an Israeli publication, reported that Isaac Israel had been detained and questioned by the Israeli Securities Authority for allegedly publishing misleading information about the Company’s recent clinical trial. When this news was revealed to the public, shares of Kitov fell in value, causing investors harm.
