Philadelphia, Pennsylvania--(Newsfile Corp. - July 26, 2021) - Berger Montague reminds investors of the upcoming deadline of August 2, 2021 for investors to seek lead plaintiff status in a securities fraud class action against Frequency Therapeutics, Inc. ("Frequency" or the "Company") on behalf of investors who purchased Frequency securities (NASDAQ: FREQ) between November 16, 2020 and March 22, 2021 (the "Class Period").

Frequency is a Massachusetts-based pharmaceutical company focused on the development of treatments for hearing loss, including its drug "FX-322." The Company has conducted several clinical studies evaluating the safety and effectiveness of FX-322, the most significant of which was a Phase 2a study that began in October 2019. According to a recently filed lawsuit, Defendants misrepresented and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Frequency's development and commercialization of FX-322 was not producing the results desired by Frequency; and (2) FX-322's ongoing clinical study was not as positive as Frequency portrayed it.

On March 23, 2021, Frequency disclosed in a press release disappointing interim results of the Phase 2a study, revealing that subjects with mild to moderate SNHL did not demonstrate improvements in hearing measures versus placebo. On this news, Frequency's shares fell $28.30, or 78%, to close at $7.99 per share, thereby damaging investors.

In addition, beginning in April 2020, Frequency's CEO, David L. Lucchino, began selling his shares of Frequency, liquidating more than 350,000 shares for proceeds of over $10.5 million.
