In March 2022, AlloVir initiated global phase 3 registrational studies of its lead product posoleucel for the prevention of life-threatening viral infections from viruses in high-risk, allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant patients (the “posoleucel Phase 3 Studies”). On December 22, 2023, AlloVir announced that it was discontinuing the posoleucel Phase 3 studies after pre-planned analyses concluded they wouldn’t meet their primary endpoints and stated that it would explore strategic alternatives for the Company. On this news, the price of AlloVir shares declined by $1.57 per share, or approximately 67.38%, from $2.33 per share to close at $0.77 on December 22, 2023.
The lawsuit alleges that, throughout the Class Period, Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) the posoleucel Phase 3 Studies were unlikely to meet their primary endpoints; (ii) as a result, it was likely that the Company would ultimately discontinue the posoleucel Phase 3 studies; and (iii) AlloVir overstated the efficacy and clinical and/or commercial prospects of posoleucel.
