Robbins LLP Informs Investors About Class Action Against Cassava Sciences, Inc. Allegations of Misleading Information

Robbins LLP Informs Investors of Class Action Lawsuit Against Cassava Sciences, Inc.

On December 16, 2024, Robbins LLP announced a significant legal development that may impact numerous investors in Cassava Sciences, Inc. (NASDAQ: SAVA). The firm has initiated a class action lawsuit representing individuals who acquired Cassava securities between February 7, 2024, and November 24, 2024. This class action stems from allegations that the company deceived investors about its primary drug candidate aimed at combating neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s.

Background of the Allegations

Cassava Sciences, a biotechnology firm focused on innovative treatments for neurodegenerative disorders, has come under scrutiny in recent months. Robbins LLP's complaint outlines that during the specified period, Cassava’s executives portrayed an optimistic outlook on their lead drug, simufilam, leading investors to believe that significant breakthroughs were imminent. However, it is alleged that Cassava downplayed the risks associated with the drug's development and misrepresented the reliability of data from clinical trials.

The foundation of the lawsuit rests on the notion that Cassava misled shareholders about the potential for simufilam to effectively halt the progression of Alzheimer’s Disease. Reports indicated that numerous investor presentations were made under the false pretense that promising outcomes from their Phase 2 studies were robust, despite suggesting that the data was statistically insignificant.
