RADNOR, Pa.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–lt;a href=”https://twitter.com/search?q=%24BA&src=ctag” target=”_blank”gt;$BAlt;/agt; lt;a href=”https://twitter.com/hashtag/classactoin?src=hash” target=”_blank”gt;#classactoinlt;/agt;–The law firm of Kessler Topaz Meltzer & Check, LLP reminds that an
investor securities fraud class action lawsuit has been filed against
The Boeing Company (NYSE: BA) (“Boeing”) on behalf of those who
purchased or otherwise acquired Boeing securities between January
8, 2019 and March 21, 2019
, inclusive (the “Class Period”).

Boeing investors who purchased securities during the Class Period
may, no later than June 10, 2019, seek to
be appointed as a lead plaintiff representative of the class.

Investors who wish to discuss this securities fraud class action lawsuit
or request additional information about this litigation are encouraged
to contact Kessler Topaz Meltzer & Check attorneys James Maro, Jr. or
Adrienne Bell at (888) 299-7706 (toll free) or online at: www.ktmc.com/boeing-ba-securities-class-action.

According to the complaint, Boeing, together with its subsidiaries, is
one of the world’s major aerospace firms. It is organized based on the
products and services it offers and operates in four reportable
segments: (a) Commercial Airplanes (“BCA”); (b) Defense, Space &
Security; (c) Global Services; and (d) Boeing Capital. The BCA segment
develops, produces and markets commercial jet aircraft and provides
fleet support services, principally to the commercial airline industry
worldwide. On October 29, 2018, shortly after takeoff, Lion Air Flight
610 crashed, killing all aboard. Then, on March 10, 2019, shortly after
takeoff, Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302 crashed, killing all aboard. The
airplanes that crashed were Boeing 737 MAX jets.

The Class Period commences on January 8, 2019, when the defendants
issued a press release entitled, “Boeing Sets New Airplane Delivery
Records, Expands Order Backlog, Delivered 806 commercial jets in 2018
with record-setting fourth quarter, Won nearly 900 net orders valued at
$143.7 billion after finalizing more than 200 orders in December, 737
MAX family surpassed 5,000 orders; 777 family exceeded 2,000 orders.”
The complaint alleges that, following the crash of Ethiopian Airlines
Flight 302, on March 11, 2019, Ethiopian Airlines grounded its 737 MAX
8. Similarly, the China Civil Aviation Administration grounded the 737
MAX 8. Following this news, the price of Boeing shares fell $47.13 per
share, or 11.2%, during the two trading days ended March 12, 2019.

Since then, the 737 MAX series aircraft has been grounded by every
country and is no longer permitted to fly. In addition, the U.S.
Department of Transportation Office of Inspector General, the U.S.
Department of Justice, and the FBI reportedly opened investigations into
the Federal Aviation Administration (“FAA”) certification process and
into safety-review processes.

On March 21, 2019, The New York Times reported in an article entitled,
“Doomed Boeing Jets Lacked 2 Safety Features That Company Sold Only as
Extras”, that Boeing has hidden from investors, pilots and passengers,
that because of the safety compromised, Boeing created two new safety
features that it sold as “extras” or “optional features” to keep costs
down. Following this news, the price of Boeing shares fell $10.53 per
share, or about 3%, on March 22, 2019.

The complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, the defendants
misled investors about the sustainability of Boeing’s core operation –
the BCA – by touting its growth prospects and profitability, raising
guidance, and maintaining that the 737 MAX was the safest airplane to
fly the skies. Boeing made these statements all while concealing the
full extent of safety problems caused by the placement of larger engines
on the 737 MAX that changed the handling characteristics of the 737 MAX
from previous models. The complaint further alleges that Boeing hid from
investors and passengers that it prepared its own reports and statements
to the FAA certifying its planes as safe to fly and that these
statements and reports were undermined by Boeing’s conflicts of interest
in having been delegated authority by the FAA to examine, test, and help
certify its own planes and to provide the safety analysis for the 737
MAX. Boeing also hid the fact that Boeing withheld necessary safety
features from the Boeing 737 MAX unless airlines purchased them as
“extras” or “optional features” in order to keep the price down.

Boeing investors may, no later
than June 10, 2019
, seek to be appointed as a lead
plaintiff representative of the class through Kessler Topaz Meltzer &
Check, or other counsel, or may choose to do nothing and remain an
absent class member. A lead plaintiff is a representative party who acts
on behalf of all class members in directing the litigation. In order to
be appointed as a lead plaintiff, the Court must determine that the
class member’s claim is typical of the claims of other class members,
and that the class member will adequately represent the class. Your
ability to share in any recovery is not affected by the decision of
whether or not to serve as a lead plaintiff.

Indivior Provides Update on Aelis Farma’s Clinical Phase 2B Study Results with AEF0117 in Participants with Cannabis Use Disorder

Published

on

indivior-provides-update-on-aelis-farma’s-clinical-phase-2b-study-results-with-aef0117-in-participants-with-cannabis-use-disorder

THIS ANNOUNCEMENT CONTAINS INSIDE INFORMATION FOR THE PURPOSES OF ARTICLE 7 OF THE MARKET ABUSE REGULATION (EU) 596/2014 (AS IT FORMS PART OF DOMESTIC LAW IN THE UK BY VIRTUE OF THE EUROPEAN UNION (WITHDRAWAL) ACT 2018).

  • Primary and Secondary End Points of the Study were Not Met
  • Indivior Does Not Currently Expect to Exercise AEF0117 Option 

SLOUGH, United Kingdom and RICHMOND, Va., Sept. 4, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Indivior PLC (Nasdaq/LSE: INDV) is today providing an update following Aelis Farma’s announcement of the results from its clinical Phase 2B trial with AEF01171, evaluating the efficacy and safety in treatment-seeking participants with moderate to severe Cannabis Use Disorder (CUD). The purpose of this trial was twofold: (1) to show that AEF0117 (0.1, 0.3, 1 mg once a day for 12 weeks) lowers cannabis use and (2) to determine the endpoints and optimal dosage of AEF0117 for use in future studies. In this phase 2B study, patients were treatment-seeking participants, 84% of whom had severe CUD.

The results of the study demonstrated that the primary endpoint, the proportion of participants who reduced their cannabis use to ≤1 day per week, as well as secondary endpoints measuring the proportion of participants reaching either complete abstinence or who used ≤2 day per week, were not met. Although these results are disappointing, they indicate that significant work remains to be done to understand subpopulations of patients with CUD, specifically those with severe CUD.

This clinical Phase 2B study is part of the strategic collaboration between Aelis Farma and Indivior, which includes an exclusive option for Indivior to license the global rights to AEF0117. Given the lack of separation from placebo on primary and secondary endpoints and before seeing further additional favorable clinical data, Indivior does not currently expect to exercise its option.

Important Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This news release contains certain statements that are forward-looking. Forward-looking statements include, among other things, express and implied statements regarding whether: we will be able to ultimately demonstrate the safety and efficacy of AEF0117, which is a prerequisite to filing any New Drug Application; we might ever exercise our option for AEF0117 and, if so, when; and other statements containing the words “believe,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “expect,” “intend,” “estimate,” “forecast,” “strategy,” “target,” “guidance,” “outlook,” “potential,” “project,” “priority,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “would,” “could,” “can,” “outlook,” “guidance,” the negatives thereof, and variations thereon and similar expressions. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties as they relate to events or circumstances that may or may not occur in the future.

Actual results may differ materially from those because they relate to future events. Various factors may cause differences between Indivior’s expectations and actual results, including, among others, the risks described in our most recent annual report on Form 20-F beginning on page 9 as filed with the U.S. SEC and in subsequent releases; legal and market restrictions that may limit how quickly we can repurchaser our shares; the substantial litigation and ongoing investigations to which we are or may become a party; our reliance on third parties to manufacture commercial supplies of most of our products, conduct our clinical trials and at times to collaborate on products in our pipeline; our ability to comply with legal and regulatory settlements, healthcare laws and regulations, requirements imposed by regulatory agencies and payment and reporting obligations under government pricing programs; risks related to the manufacture and distribution of our products, most of which contain controlled substances; market acceptance of our products as well as our ability to commercialize our products and compete with other market participants; competition; the uncertainties related to the development of new products, including through acquisitions, and the related regulatory approval process; our dependence on third-party payors for the reimbursement of our products and the increasing focus on pricing and competition in our industry; unintended side effects caused by the clinical study or commercial use of our products; our ability to successfully execute acquisitions, partnerships, joint ventures, dispositions or other strategic acquisitions; our ability to protect our intellectual property rights and the substantial cost of litigation or other proceedings related to intellectual property rights; the risks related to product liability claims or product recalls; the significant amount of laws and regulations that we are subject to, including due to the international nature of our business; macroeconomic trends and other global developments such as armed conflicts and pandemics; the terms of our debt instruments, changes in our credit ratings and our ability to service our indebtedness and other obligations as they come due; changes in applicable tax rate or tax rules, regulations or interpretations and our ability to realize our deferred tax assets; and volatility in our share price due to factors unrelated to our operating performance or that may result from the potential move of our primary listing to the U.S.

Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date that they are made and should be regarded solely as our current plans, estimates and beliefs. Except as required by law, we do not undertake and specifically decline any obligation to update, republish or revise forward-looking statements to reflect future events or circumstances or to reflect the occurrences of unanticipated events.
