BioAge Labs Investors Have Chance to Take Lead in Class Action Lawsuit Following Significant Losses
BioAge Labs Investor Alert
In a significant development for investors of BioAge Labs, Inc. (NASDAQ: BIOA), the law firm Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd LLP has announced an opportunity for those facing substantial losses to lead a class action lawsuit against the company. This move comes in light of substantial concerns following the company's recent clinical trial results.
Understanding the Lawsuit
The alert states that investors who purchased or acquired shares of BioAge Labs, specifically linked to the registration statement issued during the initial public offering (IPO) on September 26, 2024, must act quickly. The deadline for seeking appointment as the lead plaintiff in the class action lawsuit is March 10, 2025. The case, formally known as Soto v. BioAge Labs, Inc., No. 25-cv-00196 (N.D. Cal.), alleges that BioAge Labs and several of its executives violated the Securities Act of 1933.
BioAge Labs, a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company, specializes in developing treatments for metabolic diseases. During its IPO, the firm sold 12.65 million shares at $18.00 each. However, the lawsuit claims that the offering documents were misleading, asserting there were no safety concerns related to the company's products. Particularly, these documents indicated an expectation of the company's ability to meet primary endpoints in its clinical trial related to the development of a drug called azelaprag.
The Fallout from Clinical Trials
Investors were handed alarming news when, on December 6, 2024, BioAge Labs announced the discontinuation of its ongoing STRIDES Phase 2 study. This decision came after several subjects experienced liver transaminitis while receiving azelaprag. Following this crucial setback, the company's stock price fell drastically by more than 76%, prompting concerns among investors.
At the time the class action lawsuit was filed, shares of BioAge Labs were trading at approximately $5.82, a stark decline from the original IPO price.
The Process for Lead Plaintiff
The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 allows any investor who meets the criteria to seek appointment as the lead plaintiff in this class action. The lead plaintiff typically has the largest financial stake in the case and represents the interests of other class members. Notably, investors are not required to serve as lead plaintiff to benefit from any potential recovery.
