BioAge Labs, Inc. Faces Lawsuit from Shareholders Over Securities Violations
On January 16, 2025, the Gross Law Firm announced that they are representing shareholders of BioAge Labs, Inc. (NASDAQ: BIOA) in a class action lawsuit. The case comes in light of significant allegations that the company violated securities laws during its initial public offering (IPO) held around September 26, 2024. This development has prompted the law firm to encourage shareholders who bought shares during this period to contact them for potential lead plaintiff appointments, although such a designation is not necessary for recovery.
The central claims of the lawsuit stem from BioAge's announcement on December 6, 2024, detailing the discontinuation of its STRIDES Phase 2 trial for its leading product candidate, azelaprag. This announcement was unexpected, especially given that just months prior, during its IPO, BioAge had promoted azelaprag as a promising treatment option for patients undergoing obesity therapy with incretin drugs. The unexpected news regarding its safety concerns, particularly elevated liver transaminase levels, resulted in a plummet of BioAge's stock price — a sharp decline from $20.09 per share on December 6 to $4.65 on December 7, 2024.
As the clock ticks towards the important March 10, 2025 deadline for shareholders to declare their interest in participating in this class action, the Gross Law Firm is actively working to ensure that all impacted investors are informed about their rights. By reaching out, shareholders can enroll in portfolio monitoring services, thus receiving timely updates throughout the legal process regarding their claims and overall case status.

It is also a clear call to action for affected investors — both new and seasoned — to assert their rights and consider legal representation in situations of alleged corporate misconduct.
