About the Lawsuit

FibroGen and certain of its executives are charged with failing to disclose material information during the Class Period, violating federal securities laws.

On April 6, 2021, post-market, the Company disclosed that cardiovascular safety data it had previously submitted for the Phase 3 program of its roxadustat product “included post-hoc changes to the stratification factors.” As a result of these changes, the complaint alleges, the Company was forced to concede that roxadustat did not reduce the risk of cardiovascular events or hospitalization as compared to a currently approved anemia injection used as a control based on pre-specified stratification factors, contrary to prior representations.

On this news, shares of FibroGen plummeted $14.90, or 43%, to close at $19.74 per share on April 7, 2021, on heavy volume.

The case is Xu v. Fibrogen, Inc., et al., No. 21-cv- 2623.
