SAN DIEGO, Aug. 25, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Shareholder rights law firm Johnson Fistel, LLP is investigating potential violations of the federal securities laws by Cassava Sciences, Inc. ("Cassava" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: SAVA).
On August 24, 2021, it was disclosed that the U.S. Food Drug Administration (“FDA”) had received a so-called Citizen Petition commencing an administrative action to “halt two ongoing trials of the drug Simuflam . . . pending a thorough audit by the FDA.” After summarizing its findings, the Citizen Petition went on to conclude that “the extensive evidence set forth in the enclosed report, which presents grave concerns about the quality and integrity of the scientific data supporting Cassava’s claims for Simulifam’s efficacy, provides compelling grounds for pausing the ongoing clinical trials until the FDA can conduct and complete a rigorous audit of Cassava’s research.”
Following this news, Cassava’s share price closed down 31.38% on August 25, 2021
