According to the Complaint, Ophthotech rendered exaggerated positive reports regarding the effectiveness and potential of its treatment Fovista, used in combination with Lucentis, an anti-vascular endothelial growth factor agent, despite knowledge that the phase 3 clinical trial of Fovista would be unsuccessful in achieving its primary endpoint. According to the Complaint, these statements caused Ophthotech stock to trade at artificially inflated prices. On December 12, 2016, Ophthotech revealed that the trial could not achieve its primary endpoint. When this information was released to the public, the value of Ophthotech stock fell sharply, causing investors severe harm.
