The Allegations: Robbins LLP is Investigating Allegations that Elanco Animal Health Incorporated (ELAN) Failed to Disclose Approval Problems with its Drugs

According to the complaint, the Company is developing, inter alia, Zenrelia, a “safe, highly effective, and convenient” once-daily oral Janus kinase (“JAK”) inhibitor for canine dermatology, and Credelio Quattro, a broad spectrum parasiticide product for dogs. During the class period, defendants set a timeline for U.S. approval and commercial launch for both drugs.

The complaint alleges, however, that on June 27, 2024, the Company issued a press release providing an “innovation update” on Zenrelia and Credelio Quattro and their U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) approval timelines. The press release revealed that Elanco expected the U.S. label for Zenrelia to include a boxed warning on safety “based on the outcome of a trial with unvaccinated dogs dosed at 3x the label dose,” which the Company believed would “slow the product adoption curve in the U.S.” and initially limit the number of expected treatment days—i.e., the number of days Zenrelia can safely be administered to vaccinated dogs—by approximately 25%. Further, Elanco stated that it was now expecting Zenrelia to receive FDA approval in the third quarter of 2024, leading to a potential commercial launch in the fourth quarter of 2024, and that Credelio Quattro is expected to receive FDA approval in the fourth quarter of 2024. On this news, Elanco’s stock price fell $3.69 per share, or 20.53%, to close at $14.28 per share on June 27, 2024.

Accordingly, plaintiff alleges that during the class period, defendants failed to disclose that: (i) Zenrelia was less safe than the Company had led investors to believe; (ii) Elanco was unlikely to meet its own previously issued timeline for the U.S. approval and commercial launch of both Zenrelia and Credelio Quattro; and (iii) accordingly, the Company’s business and/or financial prospects were overstated.
