MoonLake Investors Face Dec. 15 Lead‑Plaintiff Deadline in Securities Suits Tied to SLK Trial Collapse

Complaints in the Southern District of New York accuse the company of overstating sonelokimab’s Nanobody advantages.

Overview

  • National plaintiffs’ firms including Bronstein, Bragar Eagel & Squire, Berger Montague, and Rosen are urging MoonLake shareholders to seek lead‑plaintiff status by December 15, 2025.
  • The actions cover investors who bought MoonLake stock between March 10, 2024 and September 29, 2025, as outlined in recent notices.
  • The complaints allege MoonLake promoted sonelokimab as superior despite sharing IL‑17A and IL‑17F targets with UCB’s BIMZELX and lacking evidence of clinical superiority.
  • MoonLake’s September 29, 2025 Form 8‑K reported VELA‑2 failed to achieve statistical significance at week 16, citing intercurrent events in a higher‑than‑expected placebo arm.
  • MoonLake shares fell about 89–90% on September 29, 2025 following the disclosure, and the litigation remains in early stages with no class yet certified.
