About the Lawsuit

Endocyte and certain of its executives are charged with issuing a series of materially false and misleading statements during the Class Period, violating federal securities laws.

The complaint accuses the defendants failed to disclose that the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use of the European Medicines Agency's "positive opinions" for Endocyte's experimental drug VYNFINIT®, used to treat platinum-resistant ovarian cancer, using testing methods known as response evaluation criteria in solid tumors ("RECIST") were based on the testing criteria called RECIST 1.0 while, the pending analysis for the "Conditional Marketing Authorisations" would be using the more stringent RECIST 1.1 testing criteria. On May 2, 2014, Endocyte disclosed that VYNFINIT® was found ineffective under RECIST 1.1.

On this news, the price of Endocyte's stock plummeted by 61%.
