The Law Offices of Frank R. Cruz Announces the Filing of a Securities Class Action on Behalf of ImmunityBio, Inc. (IBRX) Investors

The Law Offices of Frank R. Cruz announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed on behalf of persons and entities that purchased or otherwise acquired ImmunityBio, Inc. (“ImmunityBio” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: IBRX) securities between May 23, 2022 and May 10, 2023, inclusive (the “Class Period”).

On May 11, 2023, before the market had opened, ImmunityBio announced that the FDA had rejected the Biologics License Application for the Company’s immunotherapy drug, Anktiva, due to “deficiencies relat[ing] to the FDA’s pre-license inspection of the Company’s third-party contract manufacturing organizations.”

On this news, ImmunityBio’s stock price fell $3.43, or 55.1%, to close at $2.79 per share on May 11, 2023, thereby injuring investors.

The complaint filed in this class action alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants failed to disclose to investors that: (1) ImmunityBio conducted insufficient due diligence to discover, or else did discover and ignored, Good Manufacturing Practice (“GMP”) deficiencies at its third-party CMOs for Anktiva; (2) one or more of the Company’s third-party CMOs for Anktiva did in fact suffer from GMP deficiencies; (3) the foregoing deficiencies was likely to cause the FDA to reject the Anktiva BLA in its present form; (4) accordingly, the Company overstated the regulatory approval prospects for the Anktiva BLA; and (5) as a result, Defendants’ positive statements about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.
