Investor Alert: Securities Fraud by Kessler Topaz Meltzer & Check, LLP
A recent lawsuit has been filed against Applied Therapeutics, Inc. alleging securities fraud, according to a statement released by Kessler Topaz Meltzer & Check, LLP. The class action lawsuit claims that Applied Therapeutics made false and misleading statements regarding the efficacy of one of their drugs, which ultimately led to investors suffering financial losses.
The lawsuit alleges that Applied Therapeutics misled investors about the results of a study on their lead drug candidate, AT-007, which is intended for the treatment of Galactosemia. The company claimed that the drug was effective in treating patients with this rare metabolic disorder, despite allegedly knowing that the study did not demonstrate statistically significant results in reducing blood galactose levels.
Investors who purchased Applied Therapeutics stock during the class period and suffered losses may be eligible to participate in the lawsuit as a member of the class. The lead plaintiff in the case is seeking to recover damages on behalf of investors who were misled by the company’s allegedly false and misleading statements.
Applied Therapeutics is facing scrutiny for allegedly exaggerating the efficacy of AT-007, which is a key component of their product pipeline. The company’s stock price reportedly dropped significantly after the truth about the drug’s study results came to light, causing investors to incur financial losses.

However, the case serves as a reminder of the risks that investors face when companies make false or misleading statements about their products and the potential consequences for shareholders.
