STAT Plus: Applied Therapeutics amends investor deck, bolstering accusations made by anonymous critic
One week after the New York City drug developer Applied Therapeutics announced it was working with regulators and law enforcement to identify and prosecute the anonymous author of a “fraudulent short report,” the company — much more quietly — amended its investor presentation in a way that bolsters accusations made by the author.
According to a Wall Street analyst who spoke with Applied Therapeutics, the addition of new data and clarifying language about a clinical trial to its corporate slide deck on July 9 was done to help investors better understand its work on an experimental drug for a rare metabolic disease.
