Robbins LLP Calls on EPIX Investors Facing Losses to Join ESSA Pharma Class Action Lawsuit
In a significant development for investors, Robbins LLP, a law firm specializing in shareholder rights, is urging those who suffered substantial losses in ESSA Pharma Inc. (NASDAQ: EPIX) to consider joining a class action lawsuit. The litigation pertains to a period between December 12, 2023, and October 31, 2024, during which investors acquired ESSA Pharma securities, expecting promising advancements from its lead product candidate, masofaniten. Specifically designed for treating prostate cancer, masofaniten was tested in conjunction with the established treatment enzalutamide.
However, the clinical trials did not yield the anticipated outcomes. Robbins LLP highlights that, according to the lawsuit, ESSA failed to adequately disclose crucial information to investors. Specifically, the company allegedly misrepresented the efficacy of masofaniten when used alongside enzalutamide, indicating it would not offer any substantial benefit over enzalutamide alone. Investors were led to believe that the combination treatment would significantly improve therapeutic outcomes, contrary to the evidence presented by the company's interim reviews.
On October 31, 2024, ESSA Pharma made a public announcement that served as a significant turning point. The company revealed the termination of Phase 2 trials of the M-E Combination Study due to a protocol-specified interim review, which indicated that patients receiving enzalutamide alone were experiencing a much higher rate of PSA90 response than those receiving the combination treatment. This startling revelation sent shockwaves through the market, causing the stock to plummet by $3.80 per share, a staggering 73.08% drop. As a result, many investors found their portfolios severely impacted overnight.
Robbins LLP encourages affected shareholders to connect with them for potential participation in the class action. The firm is acutely aware of the challenges and emotional toll that financial losses can bring and aims to offer legal support to those affected. Investors interested in taking a more active role in the lawsuit can contact Robbins LLP. A key aspect of this litigation is the role of the lead plaintiff, an investor who represents the collective interests of the class while directing the litigation proceedings. However, it is important to note that individuals can still be eligible for compensation without taking an active role in the lawsuit.
The firm operates on a contingency fee basis, meaning that shareholders will not incur any costs unless the litigation results in a successful recovery. Robbins LLP prides itself on its track record of advocating for shareholder rights, transforming the landscape for corporate governance, and holding top executives accountable.
