Group 1: Class Action Details - The class action represents investors who purchased securities during the class period and have until March 25, 2025, to file a lead plaintiff motion [1]. - The lawsuit claims that Novo Nordisk failed to disclose critical information about the reliability of its projected success for the Phase 3 CagriSema obesity study, "REDEFINE-1" [5]. Group 2: Study Results and Impact - On December 20, 2024, Novo Nordisk reported results from the REDEFINE-1 trial, indicating that only 57.3% of CagriSema patients remained on the highest dose after 68 weeks, compared to 82.5% for cagrilintide 2.4 mg and 70.2% for semaglutide 2.4 mg [3]. - Following the release of these results, Novo Nordisk's stock price experienced a nearly 18% drop [3].
