The complaint alleges that the Company made false and misleading statements to the market. 20% of patients enrolled in the Akero SYMMETRY trial had cryptogenic cirrhosis and did not have definitive NASH at baseline. These patients did not have biopsy-proven compensated cirrhosis. These patients were excluded from the SYMMETRY trial when calculating secondary NASH resolution endpoints. The Company influenced the results of the study and increased the likelihood of failure to meet the primary endpoint by introducing confounding factors into the study. The SYMMETRY study did not comply with FDA guidelines because it did not rule out potential causes of cirrhosis in each patient. Based on these facts, the Company’s public statements were false and materially misleading throughout the audit period. When the market learned the truth about Akero, investors suffered losses.

Join the cause and recover your losses.
