REVANCE’S ALLEGED MISCONDUCT
Revance is a biotechnology company that engages in the development, manufacture, and commercialization of neuromodulators for various aesthetic and therapeutic indications. Revance’s lead drug candidate is DaxibotulinumtoxinA for injection (“DAXI”), which has completed Phase III clinical trials for the treatment of glabellar (frown) lines and cervical dystonia.
On November 25, 2019, Revance issued a press release announcing that it had submitted a Biologics License Application (“BLA”) to the FDA for DAXI. Then, on October 12, 2021, Revance issued a press release revealing that on July 2, 2021, the FDA had issued a Form 483 informing Revance of serious concerns it had discovered while inspecting one of Revance’s manufacturing facilities. Among other things, the Form 483 indicated that “[t]he current manufacturing process is not the process proposed for licensure,” and “[t]he firm’s Quality Unit lacks the responsibility and authority for the control, review, and approval of outsourced activities which includes defining the responsibilities and communication processes for quality-related activities in a written agreement.” Following this news, Revance’s stock price fell $6.85 per share, or 25%, to close at $20.45 per share on October 12, 2021.
Then, on October 15, 2021, Revance issued another press release disclosing that “[i]n a communication received on October 15, [2021,] the FDA has determined it is unable to approve the BLA in its present form, and indicated that there are deficiencies related to the FDA’s onsite inspection at Revance’s manufacturing facility.” Following this news, Revance’s stock price fell $8.90 per share, or 39.19%, to close at $13.81 per share on October 18, 2021.
WHAT CAN I DO?
Revance investors may, no later than February 8, 2022, seek to be appointed as a lead plaintiff representative of the class through Kessler Topaz Meltzer & Check, LLP or other counsel, or may choose to do nothing and remain an absent class member. Kessler Topaz Meltzer & Check, LLP encourages Revance investors who have suffered significant losses to contact the firm directly to acquire more information.
WHO CAN BE A LEAD PLAINTIFF?
A lead plaintiff is a representative party who acts on behalf of all class members in directing the litigation. The lead plaintiff is usually the investor or small group of investors who have the largest financial interest and who are also adequate and typical of the proposed class of investors. The lead plaintiff selects counsel to represent the lead plaintiff and the class and these attorneys, if approved by the court, are lead or class counsel. Your ability to share in any recovery is not affected by the decision of whether or not to serve as a lead plaintiff.
