- Investigation Launched: Pomerantz LLP is investigating whether ADC Therapeutics has engaged in securities fraud or other unlawful business practices, which could undermine investor confidence and lead to stock volatility.
- Clinical Trial Data: On December 3, 2025, ADC released data from the LOTIS-7 trial indicating that 36.7% of patients experienced cytokine release syndrome; despite positive framing, the occurrence of adverse events could tarnish the company's reputation.
- Stock Price Reaction: Following the clinical data release, ADC's stock price fell by $0.65, a 14.13% drop, closing at $3.95 per share, reflecting market concerns about the company's future prospects.
- Legal Context: Pomerantz LLP, a prominent securities class action firm with over 85 years of experience, is dedicated to protecting investor rights, and adverse findings from the investigation could result in significant financial liabilities for the company.
