Robbins LLP Advocates for BIOA Investors to Pursue Class Action Amid Concerns

Robbins LLP Advocates for BIOA Investors Amid Class Action Concerns

In a recent statement, Robbins LLP has called on shareholders of BioAge Labs, Inc. (NASDAQ: BIOA) who have experienced significant losses to consider participating in a class action lawsuit. The firm emphasizes the importance of legal representation for shareholders who purchased stock traceable to the company’s registration statement during its Initial Public Offering (IPO) on September 26, 2024. BioAge Labs identifies itself as a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing therapies for metabolic diseases, including obesity, through innovative approaches targeting human aging biology.

The Allegations Under Investigation

Robbins LLP is currently investigating claims that BioAge Labs may have misled investors regarding its primary drug candidate, azelaprag, which was heavily promoted in relation to the company's STRIDES clinical trial ahead of the IPO. The allegations state that prior to the IPO, BioAge's leadership presented positive expectations concerning its lead product, supporting its potential success in meeting primary endpoint goals. Furthermore, the company had announced a collaboration with Lilly's Chorus clinical development organization to oversee all aspects of the STRIDES trial, which raised investor hopes for favorable outcomes and robust safety profiles in their reports.

However, subsequent developments revealed a more troubling narrative. The STRIDES Phase 2 study of azelaprag was halted due to elevated liver enzyme levels in participants, indicating possible organ damage. The lawsuit argues that this crucial information was not disclosed during their IPO presentation, and the lack of transparency regarding prior clinical trials misled potential investors about the risks inherent with the drug candidate. Following this news, BioAge Labs' stock saw a drastic decline from $20.09 on December 6, 2024, to just $4.65 by December 9, 2024, reflecting significant investor concerns and losses. As of now, shares are trading approximately $5.82, a stark contrast to the initial offering price of $18 per share.

Next Steps for Shareholders

Investors who experienced losses during this period are encouraged to take action. They may be eligible to apply to serve as lead plaintiff in the class action lawsuit against BioAge Labs. Applications must be submitted by March 10, 2025. Serving as a lead plaintiff allows shareholders to play a pivotal role in directing the litigation on behalf of all class members. It’s worth noting that participation in the case is not a prerequisite for obtaining a recovery; investors may choose to remain absent from the class while still retaining the right to recover their losses.

To facilitate this process, Robbins LLP offers representation on a contingency fee basis, meaning shareholders will incur no fees unless they recover damages.
