Overview
In 2020, Tricida was accused of hiding information about its clinical trial data and the prospects of FDA approval for Veverimer. Following this, $TCDA dropped 39% and Tricida faced a lawsuit from investors.
Timeline
- July 15, 2020 – Tricida submitted an NDA for Veverimer.

Background
In July 2020, Tricida assured investors that Veverimer’s clinical trial data was robust, citing its NDA submission and stating that the trial met the FDA’s safety and efficacy standards. The company emphasized these results as a strong basis for FDA approval.
However, on August 21, 2020, the FDA issued a Complete Response Letter, citing concerns over the trial design and the reliability of data collected from a single trial site in Eastern Europe, which provided a significant portion of the study's patient population. Following this news, $TCDA plummeted 39%.
In October 2021, Tricida failed to address the FDA’s concerns, leading to further approval delays. This announcement caused $TCDA to fall another 50%.
On January 6, 2021, investors filed a lawsuit, claiming that Tricida misled them about Veverimer’s approval prospects and the strength of its clinical trial data.
