Law Offices of Howard G. Smith announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Indiana on behalf of all purchasers of the common stock of Endocyte, Inc. (“Endocyte” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ:ECYT) between March 21, 2014 and May 2, 2014, inclusive (the “Class Period”).

Endocyte is a biopharmaceutical company engaged in the development of targeted therapies for the treatment of cancer and inflammatory diseases. The Complaint alleges that the defendants issued misleading statements during the Class Period regarding the efficacy of Endocyte's experimental drug VYNFINIT®. On May 2, 2014, Endocyte disclosed that VYNFINIT was found ineffective in the treatment of platinum-resistant ovarian cancer, based on certain testing methods known as response evaluation criteria in solid tumors, or “RECIST.” The Company subsequently announced that it would withdraw its application to market VYNFINIT in Europe.
