Kirby McInerney LLP Advises CTI BioPharma Corp. Investors of Potential Claims


The law firm of Kirby McInerney LLP announced today that it has been retained by an investor to pursue claims against CTI (News - Alert) BioPharma Corp. ("CTI" or the "Company") (Nasdaq:CTIC) on behalf of all persons or entities who acquired CTI securities during the period from March 4, 2014 through February 9, 2016 (the "Class Period"). Another investor recently filed a class action suit asserting such claims. Pursuant to applicable law, investors have until April 11, 2016 to file a motion to be appointed as lead plaintiff in that lawsuit.

The lawsuit alleges that throughout the Class Period the Company made false and misleading statements and/or failed to disclose adverse information about its new drug application for pacritinib.

On February 8, 2016, the Company issued a press release announcing that the FDA had placed a partial clinical hold on pacritinib due to fatal and life-threatening safety issues in pacritinib-treated patients. On this news, the stock price fell from $1.12 to close at $0.44 (a decline of $0.68). On February 9, 2016, the Cmpany announced that the FDA had placed a full clinical hold on pacritinib. On this news, the stock price fell further to close at $0.30 (a decline of $0.14 and a total decline of $0.82).

Please bear in mind that some of these rights may be time-sensitive.
