Pomerantz Law Firm Class Action Alert
In a significant legal development, the Pomerantz Law Firm has announced the initiation of a class action lawsuit against UroGen Pharma Ltd., a biopharmaceutical company listed on NASDAQ under the symbol URGN. This lawsuit comes as a consequence of substantial losses experienced by investors following a series of troubling announcements regarding UroGen's product approvals, notably affecting its bladder cancer drug, UGN-102.
Background of UroGen Pharma's Legal Challenges
The issues surrounding UroGen came to a head on May 16, 2025, when the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) released a briefing document leading up to an advisory committee meeting scheduled for May 21. The document raised concerns about the New Drug Application (NDA) for UGN-102, indicating that the Envision clinical trial, which examined the drug’s efficacy, lacked a concurrent control arm. This lack of critical comparative data rendered the trial's primary outcome metrics difficult to interpret.
Furthermore, the FDA had reportedly recommended to UroGen on multiple occasions to utilize a randomized trial design to alleviate concerns about the integrity of the study's results. These warnings went unheeded.
As a direct result of the FDA's unfavorable assessment and the committee’s recommendations, UroGen’s stock plummeted by $2.54 per share— a staggering 25.79% drop— on the day the briefing document was made public. The following week, after the Oncologic Drugs Advisory Committee voted against the approval of UGN-102, citing an unfavorable benefit-risk ratio for patients with non-muscle invasive bladder cancer, UroGen's shares fell further to close at $4.17, a 44.7% drop.
