Spectrum Pharmaceuticals Lawsuit Reopens Lead Plaintiff Application for Investors

Background on the Spectum Pharmaceuticals Securities Class Action

Spectrum Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (SPPI) has been under scrutiny due to a federal class action lawsuit underway since late 2022, titled Christiansen v. Spectrum Pharmaceuticals, Inc., et al. The lawsuit is based on claims that the company misled investors about its cancer treatment drug, poziotinib. Despite internal knowledge regarding the drug's failure, Spectrum continued to assert its effectiveness. This became particularly concerning when the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) expressed significant worries about the drug's clinical trial outcomes. Following this revelation, the company's stock plummeted, causing profound financial damage to investors involved.

Court Proceedings and Developments

Initially, the case thrived, surviving attempts to dismiss the complaint and moving towards class certification. However, this progress was halted in August 2025 after the appointed lead plaintiff was disqualified due to allegations of misconduct. Consequently, a new lead plaintiff is being sought, as the case remains stayed until this position is filled. Interested investors have until September 24, 2025, to file their applications for the lead plaintiff role. With the reinstatement of this process, investors who suffered losses are urged to step forward.

Role of Hagens Berman
