NEW YORK, Dec. 23, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- The Law Offices of Vincent Wong announce that a class action lawsuit has been commenced in the USDC for the Middle District of North Carolina on behalf of investors who purchased Cempra, Inc. (NASDAQ: CEMP) securities between October 22, 2015 and November 1, 2016.

Click here to learn about the case: http://www.wongesq.com/pslra/cempra. There is no cost or obligation to you.

According to the complaint, during the Class Period, Cempra made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) Cempra's lead product candidate solithromycin posed significant safety risks for hepatotoxicity; and (ii) as a result of the foregoing, Cempra's public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.

On November 2, 2016, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration posted a preliminary review of solithromycin, highlighting a significant safety signal for hepatotoxicity. Upon this news, shares of Cempra fell over 60% during intraday trading.
