SHAREHOLDER ALERT: Bronstein, Gewirtz & Grossman, LLC Notifies Investors of Class Action Against Intra-Cellular Therapies, Inc. (ITCI) and Lead Plaintiff Deadline: July 11, 2017

NEW YORK, May 16, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Attorney Advertising -- Bronstein, Gewirtz & Grossman, LLC notifies investors that a class action lawsuit has been filed against Intra-Cellular Therapies, Inc. ("Intra-Cellular" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: ITCI) and certain of its officers, on behalf of shareholders who purchased Intra-Cellular securities between August 12, 2014 and April 28, 2017, both dates inclusive (the "Class Period"). Such investors are encouraged to join this case by visiting the firm's site: http://www.bgandg.com/itci.

This class action seeks to recover damages against Defendants for alleged violations of the federal securities laws under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. 

The Complaint states that, throughout the Class Period, Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) findings related to toxicity in animals treated with lumateperone (ITI-007) were observed; (2) these findings posed an additional safety concern regarding lumateperone; and (3) consequently, Intra-Cellular's public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.

On August 4, 2016, Intra-Cellular's CEO Sharon Mates specified during an earnings call that "our studies to-date supports the efficacy and safety of ITI-007 for the treatment of schizophrenia." Then on May 1, 2017, Intra-Cellular revealed that U.S. Food and Drug Administration had requested further information to verify that the findings observed in nonclinical animal toxicology studies of lumateperone are not suggestive of a safety risk associated with long term exposure in humans. Following this news, Intra-Cellular stock dropped.

A class action lawsuit has already been filed.
