NO CLASS HAS YET BEEN CERTIFIED IN THE ABOVE ACTION. UNTIL A CLASS IS CERTIFIED, YOU ARE NOT REPRESENTED BY COUNSEL UNLESS YOU RETAIN ONE. YOU MAY ALSO REMAIN AN ABSENT CLASS MEMBER AND DO NOTHING AT THIS POINT. YOU MAY RETAIN COUNSEL OF YOUR CHOICE.

The complaint alleges that defendants during the Class Period made false and misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that (1) SCYNEXIS’ lead product SCY-078 entailed substantial undisclosed health and safety risks; (2) consequently, SCYNEXIS had overstated the drug’s approval prospectus and/or commercial viability; and (3) as a result, SCYNEXIS’ public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.

On March 2, 2017, SCYNEXIS announced after market closed that the FDA placed clinical hold on clinical trials for the intravenous formulation of SCYNEXIS’ lead product candidate SCY-078 following a review of three mild-to-moderate thrombotic events in healthy volunteers receiving the IV formulation of SCY-078 at the highest doses and highest concentrations in a Phase 1 study. On this news, share of SCYNEXIS fell $0.57 per share or over 17% to close at $2.70 per share on March 3, 2017, damaging investors.
