HAGENS BERMAN, NATIONAL TRIAL ATTORNEYS, Encourages FibroGen (FGEN) Investors to Contact Its Attorneys Now, Firm Investigating Possible Securities Fraud

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 5, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Hagens Berman urges FibroGen, Inc. FGEN investors who have suffered significant losses to submit their loss now to learn if they qualify to recover their investment losses. The firm is investigating FibroGen for possible violations of federal securities laws and FGEN investors may have valuable claims. 

FibroGen (FGEN) Investigation:

The investigation centers on FibroGen's disclosures concerning the safety and efficacy of Roxadustat, a drug candidate for treating anemia in chronic kidney disease patients.

On Nov. 4, 2019, research firm Plainview LLC published a scathing report entitled "The Next Big Biotech Blow-Up," alleging that "FibroGen has been mysteriously unforthcoming" about the highly anticipated safety results of its pivotal Phase 3 trials of Roxadustat. Plainview accused the Company of "withholding" certain critical data and stated that "FibroGen Management has trumpeted misleading statistics."

This news sent the price of FibroGen shares down over $3.00, or about 7.5%, on November 4, 2019.

"We're focused on recovering investors' losses and whether the Company may have misled investors about the safety of its core drug candidate," said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the investigation.
