More specifically, the plaintiff claims that Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that the detrimental effect on survival of pacritinib, that the Company’s clinical trials demonstrated deaths associated with pacritinib usage, that the Company’s new drug application for pacritinib would likely be withdrawn, that, as such, the Company’s future revenues were impaired, that the company lacked adequate internal controls, and that, as a result of the foregoing, the Company’s financial statements and defendants’ statements about CTI Biopharma’s business, operations, and prospects, were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.
