LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Glancy Prongay & Murray LLP (“GPM”) reminds investors of the November 21, 2016 deadline to file a lead plaintiff motion in the class action lawsuit filed on behalf of investors who purchased or otherwise acquired Spectrum Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Spectrum” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: SPPI) securities between February 28, 2013 and September 16, 2016, inclusive (the “Class Period”). Spectrum investors have until November 21, 2016 to file a lead plaintiff motion.

The class action complaint filed on behalf of shareholders alleges that throughout the Class Period defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) the FDA previously questioned whether the data from the 611 and 612 Studies were clinically meaningful; (2) the FDA advised defendants in December 2012 not to submit the New Drug Application based on data from the 611 and 612 Studies; and (3) as a result, defendants' public statements about Spectrum's business, operations and prospects were materially false and misleading at all relevant times. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

If you purchased or otherwise acquired Spectrum shares during the Class Period, you may move the Court no later than November 21, 2016 to request appointment as lead plaintiff. To be a member of the class you need not take any action at this time; you may retain counsel of your choice or take no action and remain an absent member of the Class.
