Intercept Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Class Action Lawsuit

Levi & Korsinsky, LLP

December 29, 2020

Levi & Korsinsky, LLP announces that an ICPT class action lawsuit has been commenced on behalf of investors who purchased Intercept (ICPT) securities between between September 28, 2019 and October 7, 2020. For more on the Intercept Class Action please contact us today.

 

According to the Intercept lawsuit, throughout the Class Period defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that:  (i) Defendants downplayed the true scope and severity of safety concerns associated with the use of Ocaliva (obeticholic acid (“OCA”)), Intercept’s lead product candidate, in treating primary biliary cholangitis; (ii) the foregoing increased the likelihood of a U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) investigation into Ocaliva’s development, thereby jeopardizing Ocaliva’s continued marketability and the sustainability of its sales; (iii) any purported benefits associated with OCA’s efficacy in treating nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (“NASH”) were outweighed by the risks of its use; (iv) as a result, the FDA was unlikely to approve the Company’s New Drug Application for OCA in treating patients with liver fibrosis due to NASH; and (v) as a result of all the foregoing, the Company’s public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.
