The law firm of Kirby McInerney LLP is investigating potential claims against Ardelyx, Inc. (“Ardelyx” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: ARDX). The investigation concerns whether Ardelyx has violated the federal securities laws and/or engaged in other unlawful business practices.

On July 19, 2021, the Company announced that “it received a letter from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) on July 13, 2021, stating that, as part of its ongoing review of the Company’s New Drug Application (“NDA”) for the control of serum phosphorus in adult patients with chronic kidney disease (“CKD”) on dialysis, the FDA has identified deficiencies that preclude discussion of labeling and post-marketing requirements/commitments at this time.” The Company further announced that it requested a meeting to discuss the deficiencies identified by the FDA and was notified that the request was denied. On this news, the price of Ardelyx’s stock declined by $5.69 per share, or approximately 73.9%, from $7.70 per share to close at $2.01 per share on July 20, 2021.
