SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 11, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Global plaintiffs' rights firm Hagens Berman reminds investors that the Lead Plaintiff Deadline in the securities class action lawsuit against MoonLake Immunotherapeutics (NASDAQ:MLTX) is rapidly approaching: December 15, 2025.
The lawsuit alleges that MoonLake and certain executives made materially false and misleading statements regarding the clinical prospects of the company's lead and sole drug candidate, sonelokimab (SLK), causing the stock to crash nearly 90% on the revelation of disappointing Phase 3 trial results. Hagens Berman urges investors with significant losses to submit their losses now.
The Lawsuit's Core Allegation: The Nanobody Deception
The lawsuit focuses on the company's repeated claims that SLK's distinctive Nanobody structure would translate into superior clinical efficacy (like higher HiSCR75 responses) compared to conventional monoclonal antibody treatments, specifically the FDA-approved competitor BIMZELX.
"We are focusing on the repeated assurances MoonLake gave investors about the supposed 'superiority' of their Nanobody technology. When the VELA-2 results came out, those promises evaporated, and investors lost nearly everything overnight," said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the litigation. "As the December 15 deadline approaches, we encourage investors who suffered heavy losses to contact the firm to discuss their rights."

| Class Period | March 10, 2024 – September 29, 2025 | |
