The Allegations: Robbins LLP is Investigating the Allegations that Anavex Life Sciences Corporation (AVXL) Misled Investors Regarding the Likelihood of Success of its Clinical Trial

According to the complaint, Anavex’s primary product is blarcamesine. Anavex sponsored the “Excellence” Phase II/Phase III study to investigate blarcamesine as a treatment for pediatric Rett syndrome patients.

Plaintiff alleges that during the class period defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that defendants misled investors by providing a materially flawed and inaccurate impression of Anavex’s research program and of blarcamesine’s actual likelihood of success in the Rett syndrome trials.

On January 2, 2024, Anavex announced the Excellence study results and in doing so revealed that Anavex used the “MMRM” method – a statistical method not previously used by Anavex in its prior blarcamesine studies – to analyze the data and that the Excellence study failed to achieve statistical significance on all but one measure. On this news, the price of Anavex stock fell more than 35%, according to the complaint.
