KESSLER TOPAZ MELTZER & CHECK, LLP – Reminds Investors of Securities Fraud Class Action Lawsuit Against IMMUNOMEDICS, INC. – IMMU

RADNOR, Pa., Jan. 10, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The law firm of Kessler Topaz Meltzer & Check, LLP reminds investors that a securities fraud class action lawsuit has been filed in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey against Immunomedics, Inc. (NASDAQ:  IMMU) (“Immunomedics”) on behalf of purchasers of Immunomedics common stock between August 23, 2018 and December 20, 2018, inclusive (the “Class Period”).

Important Deadline:  Investors who purchased Immunomedics securities during the Class Period may, no later than February 25, 2019, seek to be appointed as a lead plaintiff representative of the class. For additional information or to learn how to participate in this litigation please visit www.ktmc.com/immunomedics-securities-class-action.

According to the complaint, Immunomedics is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing monoclonal antibody-based products for the targeted treatment of cancer.

The Class Period commences on August 23, 2018, when Immunomedics filed its Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018.

According to the complaint, on December 17, 2018, FDAnews.com published an article titled “FDA Hits Immunomedics for Data Integrity Breach.” According to this article, “[t]he FDA cited Immunomedics for a host of violations - including its handling of a data integrity breach - observed at its Morris Plains, New Jersey, drug substance manufacturing facility between August 6 and 14.” The article stated that this breach included “manipulated bioburden samples, misrepresentation of an integrity test procedure in the batch record, and backdating of batch records, such as dates of analytical results.”  Following the publication of the FDAnews.com article, Immunomedics shares fell from an opening price of $18.54 to close at $17.86, a decline of 4%.

Then, on December 20, 2018, Favus Institutional Research issued a report (the “Favus Report”) discussing the data integrity breach. Following the Favus Report, Immunomedics’ stock price fell from $17.64 at close on December 19, 2018 to $14.17 at close on December 20, 2018, a drop of 20%.
