Glancy Prongay & Murray Reminds Investors of the January 2, 2018 Deadline in the Class Action Lawsuit Against Genocea Biosciences, Inc. (GNCA)

Glancy Prongay & Murray LLP (“GPM”) reminds investors of the January 2, 2018 deadline to file a lead plaintiff motion in the class action filed on behalf of investors that purchased Genocea Biosciences, Inc. (“Genocea” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: GNCA) securities between August 4, 2016 and September 25, 2017, inclusive (the “Class Period”). Genocea investors have until January 2, 2018 to file a lead plaintiff motion.

On September 25, 2017, Genocea disclosed that it was halting spending and activities on GEN-003 and exploring strategic alternatives for the drug. The Company also announced that it was cutting 40% of its workforce. On this news, shares of Genocea fell $4.08, or 76.5%, to close at $1.25 on September 26, 2017, thereby injuring investors.

The complaint filed in this class action alleges that the Company and certain executives issued false and misleading statements to investors, including in filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Specifically, defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) the Company’s finances were insufficient to support Phase 3 trials of GEN-003; (ii) accordingly, Genocea had overstated the prospects for GEN-003; and (iii) as a result of the foregoing, Genocea’s public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.
