According to the complaint, the Company made materially false and misleading statements to investors and/or failed to disclose that: (1) a fewer number of per protocol patients were available for primary endpoint evaluation in the Phase III Study; (2) the data from 72 patients of the Phase III Study was compromised; (3) XBiotech did not adequately sample patients to accommodate data loss; and (4) as a result of not properly sampling patients, the Phase III Study would have reduced statistical power to demonstrate the proposed outcome.

If you suffered a loss in XBiotech you have until February 1, 2016 to request that the Court appoint you as lead plaintiff. Your ability to share in any recovery doesn't require that you serve as a lead plaintiff.
