Shamis & Gentile, P.A. is investigating claims on behalf of investors of Altimmune, Inc. (“Altimmune” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: ALT). Impacted investors are advised to contact the firm now.
The investigation concerns whether Altimmune and certain of its officers and/or directors have engaged in securities fraud or other unlawful business practices. The investigation focuses on possible false and/or misleading statements made by Altimmune regarding the clinical prospects and efficacy of its lead drug candidate, pemvidutide. The period under consideration is from December 1, 2023 through June 25, 2025.
On June 26, 2025, Altimmune announced topline results from its Phase 2b improvement or complete resolution of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (“MASH”) trial. While the Company highlighted that the trial met its primary endpoint for MASH resolution, the same press release also revealed that the fibrosis improvement endpoint did not achieve statistical significance compared to placebo.
On this news, Altimmune’s stock price fell $5.60 per share, or approximately 52.2%, to close at $5.40 per share on June 26, 2025, erasing roughly half of the Company’s market value in a single trading day.
