On May 4, 2023, Acelyrin, a clinical biopharma company, sold 30 million shares of its common stock at $18 per share in its initial public offering.
According to the Company’s Registration Statement and Prospectus filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on Form 424(b)(4), the Company’s “lead product candidate is izokibep” and the Company was “conducting in the United States, Europe, and Canada a placebo-controlled, double-blind Phase 2b/3 trial of izokibep in PsA [psoriatic arthritis] with 160 mg delivered SC QW or Q2W, or 80 mg every four weeks (Q4W).”
On November 27, 2023, after the close of trading, Acelyrin issued a press release titled “ACELYRIN, INC. Provides Update on Izokibep Clinical Development Program” concerning “its ongoing global Phase 2b/3 trial for izokibep in psoriatic arthritis (“PsA trial”).”
The Company’s press release stated, in part, that “ACELYRIN’s team recently identified clinical trial execution errors involving its CRO and one of the vendors engaged by the CRO. ACELYRIN has confirmed that the protocol, which outlined dosing sequence, was correct. However, ACELYRIN’s protocol was programmed incorrectly by the vendor, resulting in a sequencing error that went further unidentified through the providers’ testing processes. As a result, some patients in the 160mg Q2W and 80mg Q4W arms received placebo and active treatment in random order rather than in an alternating pattern as intended.”
On November 28, 2023, the price of the Company’s shares declined from a closing price on November 27, 2023 of $8.70 per share to close at $5.88 per share, a decline of over 32% on heavy trading volume.
