The action is pending in United States District Court for the Southern District of New York.

About the Lawsuit
Ophthotech and certain of its executives are charged with failing to disclose material information during the Class Period, violating federal securities laws.
The complaint alleges that Ophthotech made overtly positive representations about the effectiveness and potential of its treatment Fovista when used in combination with Lucentis, a commercially available anti-vascular endothelial growth factor agent, despite awareness that the phase 3 clinical trial of Fovista would fail to achieve its primary endpoint.
On December 12, 2016, Ophthotech announced that the trial had failed to achieve its primary endpoint, and that Fovista and Lucentis demonstrated a non-statistically significant improvement over patients only receiving Lucentis.
On this news, the price of Ophthotech’s shares plummeted.
