What is this Case About: NovoCure Limited (NVCR) Misled Investors Regarding the Viability and Efficacy of its LUNAR Study

According to the complaint, during the class period, defendants failed to disclose that: (i) the Company concealed the true nature of the LUNAR study results—that the overwhelmingly positive way that the Company described them was only a half-truth at best given that the study failed to evaluate the efficacy of the drug against a population of patients that had been receiving standard of care treatment; (ii) as a result, the Company’s business prospects, effectiveness of its products, and ultimately the likelihood of FDA approval were materially misleading during the class period; (iii) the foregoing, once revealed, was reasonably likely to have a material negative impact on the Company’s financial condition; and (iv) as a result, the Company’s public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.

On January 5, 2023, defendants announced topline results from the Company’s LUNAR Study. The announcement disclosed positive data, but concealed negative data.

On June 6, 2023, the long-anticipated presentation of NovoCure’s LUNAR study’s full results were presented at the American Society of Clinical Oncology’s annual meeting. While the results were positive on the whole, there was an underlying problem with the data set utilized in the study. The Company revealed that a relatively small percentage of study participants had been receiving standard of care therapy (i.e., immune checkpoint inhibitors), thereby rendering the study’s results unreliable in terms of demonstrating clinical efficacy. On this news, NovoCure’s stock dropped from a closing price of $82.51 on June 5th to a closing price of $47 on June 6th—a loss of $35.51 per share—or 43% of its value.
