Lead Plaintiff Deadline is April 17, 2017

NEW YORK, Feb. 24, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Wolf Haldenstein Adler Freeman & Herz LLP announces that a federal securities class has been commenced in the United States District Court for  the Northern  District  of   California  on  behalf   of  purchasers  of   Anthera Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq:ANTH) (“Anthera” or the “Company”) common  stock during the period between February 10,  2015 and December 27, 2016,  inclusive (the “Class Period”). 

Investors who have incurred losses in shares of Anthera Pharmaceuticals, Inc. are urged to contact the firm immediately at classmember@whafh.com or (800) 575-0735 or (212) 545-4774. You may obtain additional information concerning the action on our website, www.whafh.com.

If   you  have  purchased  shares of  Anthera Pharmaceuticals, Inc. within the class period and would like to assist with the litigation process, you may, no later than April 17,  2017, request that the Court appoint you lead plaintiff of the proposed class.

The filed complaint accuses the defendants of failing to disclose during the Class Period that patients were not improving in the CHABLIS-SC1 clinical trial and there were dosing problems inherent in the Solution Study design that created challenges to obtaining responses.

Following a November 10, 2016 press release announcing that the CHABLIS-SC1 clinical trial with blisibimod for the treatment of systematic lupus  erythematosus  failed  to  meet  its  primary endpoint, and a December 27, 2016  press release announcing that the  Solution Study in cystic fibrosis patients with exocrine pancreatic insufficiency missed the Coefficient of Fat Absorption non-inferiority margin of the primary modified Intent to Treat, the value of Anthera shares declined significantly.
