MAILING ADDRESS, TELEPHONE NUMBER AND NUMBER OF SHARES PURCHASED.
Vanda is a biopharmaceutical company engaged in the development and
commercialization of products for the treatment of central nervous
system disorders, including tasimelteon -- a treatment for circadian
rhythm sleep disorders (CRSD) and currently in clinical development for
a serious, rare CRSD known as “Non-24.” The Complaint alleges that
during the Class Period the Company issued false and/or misleading
statements and/or failed to disclose that: (a) the Company was forced to
unilaterally change the primary endpoint in the middle of the
tasimelteon Phase III studies as it was in possession of data suggesting
the original primary endpoint would not be met; (b) the Company
eliminated nighttime total sleep as the primary endpoint in its studies
as there was no discernible difference in efficacy and safety in
nighttime total sleep between those patients deemed to have Non-24 and
those patients with a normal circadian rhythm; (c) the replacement
primary endpoint installed to assess tasimelteon’s efficacy and safety
was created by the Company based on predicted results and has never been
used before in sleep-drug clinical trials, nor was it endorsed by the
Food and Drug Administration; and (d) as a result of the foregoing, the
Company’s statements were materially false and misleading at all
relevant times.
If you are a member of the Class described above you may move the Court
no later than 60 days from June 25, 2013 to serve as lead plaintiff;
however, you must meet certain legal
requirements.
