Background on the Frequency Securities Class Litigation
Frequency, headquartered in Woburn, Massachusetts, is pharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing a treatment for severe sensorineural hearing loss (“SNHL”) named “FX-322.” Frequency has conducted multiple clinical trials assessing the safety and efficacy of FX-322, the most significant of which was a Phase 2a trial, which began in October 2019.
The actions allege that shortly after launching the Phase 2a trial, Frequency and its Chief Executive Officer, David L. Lucchino, learned that the Phase 2a trial results revealed no discernible difference between FX-22 and the placebo. As the Company continued to release positive statements regarding FX-322’s prospects, Lucchino sold a significant amount of his shares of Frequency stock for over $10.5 million in total proceeds.
On March 23, 2021, Frequency announced disappointing interim Phase 2a results for FX-322, revealing that subjects with mild to moderate SNHL did not demonstrate improvements in hearing measures versus the placebo. On this news, the price of Frequency common stock fell $28.30 per share, or 78%, from a closing price of $36.29 on March 22, 2021 to $7.99 per share on March 23, 2021, on extremely heavy trading volume.
