Read the Complaint

The complaint charges Pharmos, Haim Aviv and Gad Riesenfeld with violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. More specifically, the Complaint alleges that the Company failed to disclose and misrepresented the following material adverse facts which were known to defendants or recklessly disregarded by them: (1) that defendants knew or recklessly disregarded the fact that dexanabinol was ineffective in treating severe traumatic brain injury ("TBI"); (2) that the defendants maintained the appearance that dexanabinol was effective for the sole purpose of allowing the Company's executives to sell their own shares at artificially inflated prices; and (3) that the Company's statements regarding the effectiveness of the drug were lacking in any reasonable basis when made.

On December 20, 2004, Pharmos announced top-line results of its pivotal Phase III trial of dexanabinol to treat severe TBI. The Company drug, dexanabinol did not demonstrate efficacy as measured by the primary clinical outcome endpoint, the Extended Glasgow Outcome Scale. News of this shocked the market. Shares of Pharmos fell $2.32 per share, or 66.29 percent, on December 20, 2004 to close at $1.18 per share, on unusually high volume.
