The case alleges that Athenex and its senior executives made misleading statements to investors and failed to disclose that: (i) the data included in the Oral Paclitaxel plus Encequidar NDA presented a safety risk to patients in terms of an increase in neutropenia-related sequelae; (ii) the uncertainty over the results of the primary endpoint of objective response rate ("ORR") at week 19 conducted by BICR (iii) the BICR reconciliation and re-read process may have introduced unmeasured bias and influence on the BICR; (iv) Athenex's Phase 3 study that was used to file the NDA was inadequate and not well-conducted in a patient population with metastatic breast cancer representative of the U.S. population, such that the FDA would recommended a new such clinical trial; and08 (v) as a result, it was foreseeable that the FDA would not approve Athenex's NDA in its current form.

Interested Athenex investors have until May 3, 2021 to retain counsel and apply to be a lead plaintiff if they are interested to do so.
