According to the complaint, during the class period Defendants misled investors about (1) Vanda’s engagement in a fraudulent scheme in which it promoted the off-label use of 2 drugs (Fanapt and Hetlioz), (2) Vanda’s fraudulent receipt of drug reimbursements from the government by abusing Medicare, Medicaid, and Tricare programs, and (3) Vanda’s use of misleading promotional materials for the drugs.
“We’re focused on investors’ losses, matters raised in the recently unsealed whistleblower complaint, and the FDA’s apparent view that the Company used improper promotional materials,” said Hagens Berman partner Reed Kathrein.
Whistleblowers: Persons with non-public information regarding Vanda should consider their options to help in the investigation or take advantage of the SEC Whistleblower program. Under the new program, whistleblowers who provide original information may receive rewards totaling up to 30 percent of any successful recovery made by the SEC.
