The lawsuit by a current investor against directors of BioSante Pharmaceuticals over alleged breaches of fiduciary duties follows an earlier lawsuit against BioSante Pharmaceuticals over alleged Securities Laws violations filed for investors who purchased NASDAQ:BAPX shares exclusively between February 12, 2010 and December 15, 2011. The plaintiff alleges on behalf of all persons or entities who purchased or otherwise acquired the securities of BioSante Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: BPAX) between February 12, 2010 and December 15, 2011, that BioSante Pharmaceuticals violated the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 by issuing a series of materially false and misleading statements to investors about LibiGel's commercial viability, effectiveness, and market potential that caused shares of BioSante Pharmaceuticals to trade at artificially high prices between February 12, 2010 and December 15, 2011.
On December 14, 2011, BioSante Pharmaceuticals, Inc announced the results from LibiGel Efficacy Trials.
