About the Lawsuit

Esperion and certain of its executives are charged with failing to disclose material information during the Class Period, violating federal securities laws. 

The alleged false statements and omissions include, in part, that: (i) there was no clear path to approval for ETC-1002, a once-daily small molecule designed to lower LDL-cholesterol levels while avoiding the side effects associated with other LDL-cholesterol lowering therapies on the market; (ii) the FDA had encouraged Esperion Therapeutics to initiate a cardiovascular outcomes trial ("CVOT"); and (iii) completion of a CVOT could be necessary prior to approval of ETC-1002.
