NEW YORK, March 30, 2017 -- Wolf Haldenstein Adler Freeman & Herz LLP announces that a class action lawsuit has been commenced in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts on behalf of purchasers of OvaScience, Inc. (Nasdaq:OVAS) (“OvaScience”  or the  “Company”) securities during the period between January 8, 2015 and March  26, 2015, inclusive (the “Class  Period”).

Investors who have incurred losses in OvaScience, Inc. shares are urged to contact the firm immediately at [email protected] or (800) 575-0735 or (212) 545-4774. You may obtain additional information concerning the action on our website, www.whafh.com. 

If  you have purchased shares of OvaScience, Inc. and would like to assist with the litigation process, you may, no later than May 26, 2017, request that the Court appoint you lead plaintiff of the proposed class.

The filed complaint focuses on whether the Company and its executives violated federal securities laws by making false and/or misleading statements and/or failing to disclose that:

• the science behind AUGMENT, a treatment specifically designed to improve a patient's egg health, had not been scientifically validated;
   
• the Company was unable to achieve the success rates it claimed;
   
• the reasons why the Company moved its studies outside of the United States; and
   
• as a result, the Company’s profitability and prospects were false and misleading.

On March 26, 2015, the Company disclosed that nine of the twenty-six women who received the AUGMENT treatment in Canada had achieved a pregnancy, a success rate of only approximately 35%.  

Subsequently, on March 27, 2015, analysts for Leerink Partners LLC, stated that AUGMENT’s “[o]verall pregnancy rate appears less robust with a different denominator” and “the magnitude of AUGMENT benefit is unclear given no clear benchmarks and lack of standardized metrics.”  

On March 28, 2015, the Company disclosed that only two of the eight women who received the AUGMENT treatment in Turkey achieved a pregnancy, a success rate of only 25%, which was comparable to the success rate achieved for women undergoing in vitro fertilization (“IVF”) without AUGMENT.  

As a result of these disclosures, shares of OvaScience significantly declined, causing harm to investors.
