On August 13, 2021, Sesen Bio announced that the FDA declined to approve its Biologics License Application (“BLA”) for Vicineum in its current form.

Then, on August 16, 2021, Sesen Bio further revealed that “it appears that [the Company] will need to do a clinical trial to provide the additional efficacy and safety data necessary for the FDA to assess the benefit-risk profile, which is the basis for approval.” As a result, the Company expected that it could not resubmit its BLA until 2023.
On this news, the Company’s share price fell $0.89, or 42%, to close at $1.22 per share on August 16, 2021, thereby injuring investors further.

On this news, the Company’s share price fell $0.20, or 13%, to close at $1.31 per share on August 18, 2021, thereby injuring investors further.
