Background on Allarity Therapeutics, Inc.

Allarity Therapeutics, based in Boston, Massachusetts, is a biopharmaceutical company focused on oncology therapeutics. Its drug candidates include Dovitinib, a pan-tyrosine kinase inhibitor for treating renal cell carcinoma, accompanied by a companion diagnostic technology called "DRP®-Dovitinib" or "Dovitinib-DRP."

The Securities Fraud Claims

Throughout the Class Period, the complaint alleges that Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements regarding the Company's business, operations, and prospects, including that: (i) Defendants had overstated the Dovitinib NDA's continued regulatory prospects; (ii) Allarity and three of its former officers had engaged in illegal, illicit, and/or otherwise improper conduct in connection with the Dovitinib NDA and/or the Dovitinib-DRP PMA; (iii) the alleged misconduct subjected the Company to an increased risk of regulatory scrutiny and significant legal, monetary, and reputational harm; (iv) following Allarity's announcement that it was being investigated for wrongdoing in connection with the Dovitinib NDA and Dovitinib-DRP PMA, the Company downplayed the likelihood that an enforcement action would result from such investigation.

On June 29, 2022, Allarity announced the appointment of James G. Cullem as interim CEO and Joan Y. Brown as interim CFO, with the former CEO and CFO stepping down to pursue other opportunities. The next day, Allarity disclosed in an SEC filing that Defendants Carchedi and Knudsen had either resigned or been terminated from all positions with the company and its subsidiaries without clarifying the reason. On this news, the price of Allarity's stock fell $0.31 per share, or 19.02%, to close at $1.32 per share on June 30, 2022.

On August 2, 2022, Allarity announced a change in its oncology pipeline strategy. The Company will no longer focus on developing monotherapies and will not pursue approval of Dovitinib as a monotherapy. This decision is based on feedback from the FDA and the commercial viability of shareholders. On this news, Allarity's stock fell $0.045 per share, or 3.68%, to close at $1.175 per share on August 2, 2022.

On February 6, 2023, Allarity disclosed in an SEC filing that it is under investigation by the SEC regarding its disclosures about communications with the FDA regarding its NDA for Dovitinib or Dovitinib-DRP. On this news, Allarity's stock price fell $0.009 per share, or 3.8%, to close at $0.228 per share on February 6, 2023.

On December 11, 2023, Allarity disclosed in an SEC filing that Cullem was terminated as CEO, and Thomas Jensen was appointed as the new CEO on December 8, 2023. On this news, Allarity's stock fell $0.075 per share, or 13.37%, to close at $0.486 per share on December 11, 2023.

On July 22, 2024, Allarity disclosed receiving a Wells Notice from the SEC related to the company's disclosures about meetings with the FDA regarding the NDA for Dovitinib or Dovitinib-DRP. Three former officers received Wells Notices from the SEC related to the same conduct. On this news, Allarity's stock price fell $0.004 per share, or 2.38%, to close at $0.164 per share on July 22, 2024.
