NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire - Nov 21, 2012) - Levi & Korsinsky announces that a class action lawsuit has been commenced in the United States District Court for the Central District of California on behalf of investors who acquired Peregrine Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("Peregrine" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: PPHM) securities between August 30, 2012 and September 26, 2012.

The complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period the defendants issued false and/or misleading statements or failed to disclose material adverse facts about Peregrine's business and financial prospects, including that: (a) there were major discrepancies between some patient sample test results and patient treatment code assignments; (b) as such, the clinical data from the Company's Phase II trial of its drug bavituximab was unreliable; and (c) as result of the foregoing, the defendants' positive statements about Peregrine's business, operations, and prospects lacked a reasonable basis.

On September 24, 2012 Peregrine disclosed the discovery of major discrepancies between some patient sample test results and patient treatment code assignments, and acknowledged that as a result of these discrepancies, previously reported clinical data from its Phase II trial could no longer be relied upon. Upon this news, Peregrine shares declined 78.48% to close at $1.16 per share on September 24, 2012.

If you suffered a loss in Peregrine you have until November 27, 2012 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. To obtain additional information, contact Joseph E.
