Investors Encouraged to Join Class Action Against aTyrPharma for Major Stock Losses
On October 17, 2025, Robbins LLP announced the filing of a class action lawsuit on behalf of shareholders of aTyrPharma, Inc., a biotechnology company listed on NASDAQ under the ticker ATYR. The legal action is directed at those who purchased common stock during a specified class period—from January 16, 2025 to September 12, 2025. This period has been identified as critical due to the detrimental financial impacts faced by shareholders following the company's disclosure regarding its drug candidate, Efzofitimod.
Background on aTyrPharma
Founded with the intent to develop innovative therapies for fibrosis and inflammatory diseases, aTyrPharma utilizes evolutionary intelligence to convert tRNA synthetase biology into therapeutics. One of their advanced products, Efzofitimod, is under investigation for its safety and efficacy in treating pulmonary sarcoidosis through a pivotal Phase 3 study named EFZO-FIT.
Allegations in the Class Action
The class action lawsuit has arisen due to allegations that aTyrPharma misled its investors regarding the drug candidate's efficacy. According to claims lodged by Robbins LLP, the company's executives had expressed confidence in the trial's methodology and outcomes. However, they allegedly failed to disclose critical information about the drug’s actual capabilities, particularly its potential to reduce steroid usage in patients.
This concealment of facts became a significant issue when, during an investor call on September 15, 2025, aTyrPharma revealed that their EFZO-FIT study did not achieve its primary endpoint. The announcement indicated that the expected changes from baseline in mean daily oral corticosteroid dose statistics at week 48 had not met the study’s initial goals, leading to a devastating market reaction.
Stock Price Collapse
Following this disclosure, shares of aTyrPharma tumbled dramatically, plummeting from a closing price of $6.03 on September 12 to just $1.02 by September 15, signifying an alarming decline of 83.2% in a matter of days.
Next Steps for Investors
Investors who feel they have been adversely affected by this incident are encouraged to consider joining the class action. Robbins LLP advises that shareholders need to file their papers with the court by December 8, 2025 if they wish to serve as lead plaintiffs, a role that involves representing the class members throughout the litigation process. Importantly, potential participants do not need to take action to be eligible for potential recovery; they can remain as absent class members should they choose not to engage directly with the lawsuit.
Representation and Legal Fees
Robbins LLP reiterates that all legal representation is on a contingency fee basis, which means that shareholders will incur no fees or expenses unless a recovery is made. This offers a safe opportunity for investors to seek redress for their financial losses.
