WHAT IS THIS ABOUT: On July 17, 2023, the American Society of Retina Specialists issued a press release highlighting concerns with Syfovre, Apellis Pharmaceuticals’ new eye-disease drug. The release indicated that physicians have reported cases of eye inflammation in patients treated with the drug, including six instances of occlusive retinal vasculitis, a potentially blinding type of inflammation that blocks blood flow through the vessels that feed the retina.

On this news, the price of Apellis' stock fell by $32.04 per share, or 37.92%, to close at $52.46 on July 17, 2023.

WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources, or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually litigate securities class actions.

Rosen Law Firm has achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company.
