Background on ICON plc
ICON plc is a global provider of outsourced development and commercialization services to the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and medical device industries. The Company operates through its Contract Research Organization (CRO) segment, which provides a range of services including clinical research, biometrics, pharmacovigilance, and regulatory affairs.
The Securities Class Action Lawsuit
The complaint alleges that during the Class Period, ICON plc made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that:
