INVESTOR ALERT: Glancy Binkow & Goldberg LLP Reminds Investors of the Lead Plaintiff Deadline in the Class Action Lawsuit Aga...

Glancy Binkow & Goldberg LLP reminds investors of Arrowhead Research Corporation (“Arrowhead” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ:ARWR) that purchasers of Arrowhead common stock between August 12, 2014 and October 8, 2014, inclusive (the “Class Period”), have until December 9, 2014, to file a motion to be appointed as lead plaintiff in the shareholder lawsuit filed in the United States District Court for the Central District of California.

Arrowhead is a biopharmaceutical company engaged in the development of RNA Interference (“RNAi”) therapeutics to suppress disease-causing genes. The Company’s ARC-520 targets the hepatitis B virus, and currently is being tested for its effectiveness in using RNAi to halt the production of hepatitis B genes as a potential therapy for treating chronic hepatitis B. The Complaint alleges that defendants misrepresented the true viral reduction level that ARC-520 can induce in humans, and failed to disclose that data from the Phase IIa study of ARC-520 did not support their assertions concerning the drug’s ability to induce a certain reduction level of hepatitis B surface antigens in humans.

On October 8, 2014, the Company announced the results of its Phase IIa study of ARC-520, which revealed that ARC-520 dosed at 2 mg/kg induced a reduction in hepatitis B surface antigens that was far short of the levels defendants previously suggested. Following this news, the Company’s stock dropped $5.48 per share, or almost 44% below its previous closing price, to close at $7.03 per share on October 8, 2014, on extraordinary volume.

If you are a member of the Class described above, you may move the Court no later than December 9, 2014, to serve as lead plaintiff; however, you must meet certain legal requirements. To be a member of the Class you need not take any action at this time; you may retain counsel of your choice or take no action and remain an absent member of the Class.
