CorMedix Overstates its Product's Effectiveness
According to the complaint, CorMedix's announcements during the class period regarding its imminent Phase 3 trials for Neutrolin were materially false and misleading. The complaint alleges that CorMedix overstated Neutrolin's effectiveness when the drug in fact offered no benefit compared to current industry protocols. CorMedix also overstated the cost effectiveness of Neutrolin compared to currently established medical protocols. The complaint further alleges that CorMedix stock achieved an unsustainable valuation by using paid stock promoters, and CorMedix insiders enriched themselves by selling stock at inflated prices.
On June 29, 2015, an article published on SeekingAlpha.com alleged that personnel involved in the formation of CorMedix had faced prior accusations of fraud. Additionally, the report alleged that CorMedix claimed to provide a solution to infections from catheters, when in fact countless, effective solutions were already in use. The article further stated that Neutrolin's performance in clinical trials was vastly overstated and the company engaged stock promoters to inflate its share price. On this news, CorMedix shares fell $0.81, or over 16.6%, to close at $4.05 on June 29, 2015.
