Gainey McKenna & Egleston Announces A Class Action Lawsuit Has Been Filed Against BioMarin Pharmaceutical Inc. (BMRN)

NEW YORK, Oct. 25, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Gainey McKenna & Egleston announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed against BioMarin Pharmaceutical Inc. (“BioMarin” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: BMRN) in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California on behalf of those who purchased BioMarin common stock between January 13, 2020 and September 3, 2021, both dates inclusive (the “Class Period”), seeking to recover damages caused by Defendants’ violations of the federal securities laws and to pursue remedies under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, against the Company and certain of its top officials.

The Complaint alleges that Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) BMN 307 was less safe than BioMarin had led investors to believe; (ii) BMN 307’s safety profile made it likely that the FDA would place a clinical hold on the Phearless Phase 1/2 study; (iii) accordingly, the Company had overstated BMN 307’s clinical and commercial prospects; and (iv) as a result, the Company’s public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.

On September 5, 2021, the Company issued a press release announcing “that the [FDA] placed a clinical hold on the BMN 307 Phearless Phase 1/2 study”, which “is evaluating BMN 307, an investigational AAV5-phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) gene therapy, in adults with [PKU].” The Company advised investors that “[t]he FDA’s clinical hold was based on interim safety findings from a pre-clinical, non-GLP pharmacology study.” On this news, the Company’s stock price fell $7.14 per share, or 8.4%, to close at $77.81 per share on September 7, 2021, the next trading day.

Investors who purchased or otherwise acquired shares of BioMarin should contact the Firm prior to the December 21, 2021 lead plaintiff motion deadline. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.
