What's Happening?
Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP, a national securities law firm, is urging investors who suffered losses from Altimmune, Inc. to consider leading a securities fraud lawsuit against the company.

The trial failed to achieve statistical significance in its primary endpoint of fibrosis reduction, leading to a significant drop in Altimmune's stock price. Investors who purchased or acquired Altimmune securities between August 10, 2023, and June 25, 2025, are encouraged to contact the firm to discuss their legal options. The deadline to seek the role of lead plaintiff in the class action is October 6, 2025.
