Biohaven is a biopharmaceutical firm devoted to the research, development, and commercialization of therapies in fields such as immunology, neuroscience, and oncology. Notable among its product candidates is troriluzole, aimed at treating spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA), and BHV-7000, targeting bipolar disorder.
In May 2022, a Phase 3 trial assessing the effectiveness of troriluzole for SCA failed to meet its primary endpoint, however, Biohaven's executives continued to promote the drug's viability and regulatory outlook, citing subsequent analyses and additional data. In May 2023, the firm declared that it had filed a New Drug Application (NDA) with the FDA for troriluzole as a treatment for SCA. Subsequently, in October 2023, Biohaven disclosed that its Marketing Authorization Application (MAA) for the same treatment had been accepted by the European Medicines Agency (EMA).
The lawsuit claims that during the Class Period, Biohaven's executives made materially misleading statements regarding the company’s operations and projections. These claims include overstating the regulatory prospects of troriluzole as well as the sufficiency of data submitted to aid in its approval. Moreover, statements regarding BHV-7000's efficacy were also alleged to be exaggerated.
On July 27, 2023, Biohaven revealed that the FDA had denied its NDA for troriluzole, refusing to assess the application due to the earlier failure of the Phase 3 trial. Following this announcement, Biohaven's stock plummeted by over 22%, representing a significant financial blow to its investors.
Subsequent disclosures from Biohaven indicated ongoing struggles; on March 3, 2025, the company admitted that the data from a late-stage study of BHV-7000 in bipolar mania did not meet statistical significance, resulting in another decline in stock price by approximately 13.77%.
Further compounding issues, news emerged that Biohaven had withdrawn its MAA for troriluzole in late March 2025, invoking another wave of declines in its stock price. This downward trend continued when on May 14, 2025, the firm issued a release indicating delays from the FDA concerning their NDA review due to ongoing assessments of new data.
