The Schall Law Firm Encourages Investors in Vertex Pharmaceuticals Incorporated with Losses of $100,000 to Contact the Firm

The Schall Law Firm, a national shareholder rights litigation firm, announces that it is investigating claims on behalf of investors of Vertex Pharmaceuticals Incorporated (“Vertex” or “the Company”) (NASDAQ: VRTX) for violations of the securities laws.

The investigation focuses on whether the Company issued false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose information pertinent to investors. Vertex issued a press release on May 2, 2022, updating investors on its Phase 1/2 clinical trial of VX-880. The Company admitted: “the VX-880 Phase 1/2 study has been placed on clinical hold in the U.S. by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) due to a determination that there is insufficient information to support dose escalation with the product.” Based on this news, shares of Vertex fell by 4% on the same day.
