The class, in this case, has not yet been certified, and until certification occurs, you are not represented by an attorney. If you choose to take no action, you can remain an absent class member. According to the Complaint, the Company made false and misleading statements to the market. 20% of the patients enrolled in Akero’s SYMMETRY study suffered from cryptogenic cirrhosis and did not have definitive NASH at baseline. These patients did not have biopsy-proven compensated cirrhosis. The SYMMETRY study excluded these patients when calculating the NASH resolution secondary endpoints. The Company influenced the study’s results and increased its likelihood of failing to reach its primary endpoint by introducing confounding factors to the study. The SYMMETRY study failed to align with FDA guidance by not ruling out potential causes for each patients’ cirrhosis. Based on these facts, the Company’s public statements were false and materially misleading throughout the class period. When the market learned the truth about Akero, investors suffered damages. Join the case to recover your losses. The Schall Law Firm represents investors around the world and specializes in securities class action lawsuits and shareholder rights litigation.
