Background of the Case
The allegations arise from accusations that BioAge and its executives made
false and misleading statements in the registration statement and prospectus released during the IPO. Specifically, the lawsuit claims that the company failed to disclose critical information regarding its
STRIDES Phase 2 trial for the drug azelaprag. The plaintiffs assert that:
1.
Liver Transaminitis Risks: BioAge allegedly did not disclose the risk of liver transaminitis that surfaced in earlier clinical trials, raising concerns about its integrity and transparency towards investors.
2.
Safety Concerns: The firm claims that the company inaccurately reassured investors concerning the safety of the drug, declaring that there were no safety issues and expected favorable results in trial outcomes.
3.
Misrepresentation of Business Health: Consequently, official statements regarding BioAge's operations and business prospects were purportedly materially false or misleading, not grounded in reality.

March 10, 2025. The role of a lead plaintiff is crucial, as this representative investor will guide the litigation process on behalf of the entire class. Investors may engage Kessler Topaz Meltzer & Check, LLP for support, or may also opt for other legal counsel.
