Pomerantz Law Firm Initiates Class Action Against Biohaven Ltd.
Pomerantz LLP, a prominent law firm based in New York, has officially filed a class action lawsuit against
Biohaven Ltd. (NYSE:
BHVN) and several of its top executives. The lawsuit, lodged in the
United States District Court for the District of Connecticut, pertains to alleged violations of federal securities laws affecting investors who purchased or otherwise acquired Biohaven's securities from
March 24, 2023, to May 14, 2025. This lawsuit is part of Pomerantz's ongoing commitment to advocate for victims of securities fraud and corporate misconduct.
The class action, identified under the docket number
25-cv-01120, seeks remedial action under
Sections 10(b) and
20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and
Rule 10b-5, which governs fraud and deceit in securities transactions. Investors affected are encouraged to participate in the lawsuit and have until
September 12, 2025, to request appointment as Lead Plaintiff. Interested parties can obtain further information and complain documentation from
Pomerantz’s website.
In the realm of biopharmaceuticals, Biohaven is recognized for its development of therapeutic solutions in
immunology, neuroscience, and
oncology. One of its notable product candidates is
troriluzole, which is being evaluated for various conditions, including
spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA). However, the trajectory of Biohaven's operations took a troubling turn in
May 2022 when the Phase 3 trial for troriluzole's efficacy against SCA did not meet its primary endpoints. Despite this setback, Biohaven's executives reportedly continued to promote the drug's potential, citing alternative analyses to bolster their claims.
The situation became more critical following Biohaven's announcements in May
2023, regarding its
New Drug Application (NDA) submission for troriluzole to the
FDA. This was closely followed by the
European Medicines Agency (EMA) approving the Marketing Authorization Application for the same drug in October
2023. Throughout the class period, statements from Biohaven’s management allegedly presented misleading information regarding both the company's operational viability and the prospects of its key product candidates.
In a disappointing development, Biohaven announced on
July 27, 2023, that the
FDA had rejected its NDA for troriluzole, leading to a significant drop in the company's share value, which plummeted by over
22% on that day alone. Follow-up communication from Biohaven indicated withdrawal of the MAA to the EMA in late March
2025, further exacerbating investor concerns.
On
May 14, 2025, Biohaven faced a setback where the FDA extended its review period for the drug following additional submissions related to regulatory inquiries. This news also triggered a decline in the stock, reinforcing the argument made by Pomerantz LLP that Biohaven’s executives masked critical information that could damage the company’s financial health and investor interests.
