NEW YORK & NEW ORLEANS--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Former Attorney General of Louisiana, Charles C. Foti, Jr., Esq., a partner at the law firm of Kahn Swick & Foti, LLC (“KSF”), announces that KSF has commenced an investigation into Sage Therapeutics, Inc. (“Sage” or “the Company”) (NasdaqGM: SAGE).

Sage is a biopharmaceutical company that develops and commercializes brain health medicines. On April 17, 2024, the Company disclosed that a Phase 2 study of its SAGE-718 product “did not meet its primary endpoint of demonstrating statistically significant difference from baseline in participants treated with once-daily dalzanemdor [SAGE-718] versus placebo on the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale Fourth Edition-IV Coding Test score at Day 42,” and that, “[b]ased on the data, the Company does not plan any further development of [SAGE-718] in PD.” Then, on July 24, 2024, the Company disclosed that its SAGE-324 product failed a Phase 2 study as patients who received their drug did not show a statistically significant improvement on scales measuring tremors in their arms or activities of daily living, and that, “[g]iven these results, Sage and Biogen will close the ongoing open label safety study of SAGE-324 in ET and do not plan to conduct further clinical development of SAGE-324 in ET.”

Thereafter, the Company and certain of its executives were sued in a securities class action lawsuit, charging them with failing to disclose material information during the Class Period in violation of federal securities laws, which remains ongoing.

KSF’s investigation is focusing on whether Sage’s officers and/or directors breached their fiduciary duties to its shareholders or otherwise violated state or federal laws.
