The complaint alleges that Chelsea made a series of materially false and misleading statements regarding the safety and efficacy of the drug Northera and the likelihood of its approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA"). On February 13, 2012, Chelsea disclosed that the FDA had raised questions regarding the size and duration of its clinical trials for Northera. Furthermore, the FDA indicated that three deaths were potentially related to the drug. As a result of the aforementioned, shares of Chelsea stock declined more than 37 percent. Then on March 28, 2012, the Company announced that their New Drug Application for Northera was rejected by the FDA. Upon this news, Chelsea shares fell more than 28 percent, to close at $2.62 per share on March 29, 2012.
