Brower Piven also encourages anyone with information regarding the Company’s conduct during the period in question to contact the firm, including whistleblowers, former employees, shareholders and others.

The Complaint accuses the defendants of violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 by virtue of the defendants’ failure to disclose during the Class Period that the Company’s claims regarding positive results from its DCVax-Direct Trial were based on preliminary and unconfirmed trial results that had not been reviewed or analyzed by the hospitals conducting the trials and that the Company was the subject of an aggressive stock promotion campaign which included promoters using fictitious identities and false credentials, and that German regulators required additional information to consider whether to allow the DCVax-L Trial to continue uninterrupted.

According to the Complaint, following: (1) a June 19, 2014 report from, The Street.com that MD Anderson Cancer Center had issued a stern rebuke to Northwest Bio for promoting, unjustified claims about results from the ongoing clinical trial of DCVax-Direct; (2) a July 7, 2014, report published on SeekingAlpha.com stating that the Company was the subject of a massive promotional campaign where in some cases, authors have used fictitious identities and fake credentials when they are actually paid writers; (3) an August 21, 2015 pre-market news story revealing that the Company’s Phase 3 DCVax-L brain cancer treatment clinical trial in Germany was temporarily suspended; and (4) a Company announcement that same day that new screening of patient candidates for the trial had been temporarily suspended while the Company submitted certain information from the trial for regulatory review, the value of Northwest Biotherapeutics shares declined significantly.
