| Company: | Isolagen, Inc. |
| Ticker Symbol: | AMEX: ILE |
| Class Period: | March 3, 2004 to August 1, 2005 |
| Date Filed: | Aug-18-05 |
| Lead Plaintiff Deadline: | Oct-17-05 |
| Court: | Southern District, TX |
| Allegations: |
A securities class action has been commenced in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas on behalf of purchasers of Isolagen, Inc. ("Isolagen") (AMEX:ILE) publicly traded securities during the period between March 3, 2004 and August 1, 2005 (the "Class Period"), including purchasers of Isolagen stock issued in connection with and traceable to Isolagen's June 2004 stock offering.
The complaint charges Isolagen and certain of its officers and directors with violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Isolagen specializes in the development and commercialization of autologous cellular therapies for soft and hard tissue regeneration (the "Isolagen Process"). Autologous cellular therapy utilizes a process whereby a patient's own cells are extracted, allowed to multiply and then injected into the patient. In January 2003, defendants began phase I clinical trials aimed at demonstrating the safety and efficacy of using the Isolagen Process to treat dermal defects.
The complaint alleges that without solid clinical data developed under controlled conditions, the data gathered in the clinical trials would never meet the FDA's "adequate and well-controlled" criteria for acceptable clinical trials and the Company's business plan would lack credibility to the investment community. Defendants' own internal testing showed the Isolagen Process had demonstrated nowhere near the efficacy required to obtain FDA approval, which was needed to make the Company profitable. However, during the Class Period, defendants touted the efficacy of the Isolagen Process both for dermal and dental treatments, running up the Company's stock price to a Class Period high of $12 per share on April 2, 2004.
On August 1, 2005, the Company disclosed that the preliminary results from its phase III clinical trial of the Isolagen Process for the treatment of contour deformities (wrinkles) had not met all four primary end points and that neither of the two dermal studies had achieved independent statistical significance. On this news, the Company's stock price plummeted more than 45%, from $5.50 per share to below $3 per share, on very high volume.
If you acquired the securities of the defendants during the Class Period you may, no later than the Lead Plaintiff Deadline shown above, request that the Court appoint you as lead plaintiff through counsel of your choice. You may also choose to remain an absent class member. A lead plaintiff must meet certain requirements.
