The Gross Law Firm notifies investors that a class action has commenced in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts on behalf of shareholders of Biogen Inc. who purchased securities between June 7, 2021 and January 11, 2022.
1) there was a significant, undisclosed lobbying campaign between Biogen and the Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) that was instrumental in the decision to file and approve Aduhelm, a drug being developed to treat Alzheimer’s disease; 2) the Phase III ENGAGE study demonstrated that Aduhelm failed to achieve a clinical benefit to Alzheimer’s patients; 3) ENGAGE was a failed study from which Biogen concluded not to seek FDA approval for Aduhelm in 2019; and 4) defendants misled investors as to the way in which approval was achieved, that the clinical data did not support a clinical benefit by taking Aduhelm and that side-effects were dangerous and serious.
“Biogen Inc.”
