HGS Allegedly Made False and Misleading Statements Concerning Their Potential New Drug, Benlysta

The complaint alleges that during the Class Period, HGS made false and misleading statements concerning the results of their clinical drug trials they conducted concerning Benlysta and the high risks associated with suicide. Investors only learned of these findings after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration posted their analysis on the Internet.
After the FDA information was released, the price of HGS’s common stock dropped over 10% from a closing price of $26.48 on November 11, 2010 to close at $23.50 on November 12, 2010.
