According to the filed complaint , on September 17, 2015, TG Therapeutics announced that it had reached an agreement with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") regarding a Special Protocol Assessment on the design of a Phase 3 clinical trial for TG-1101 and TGR-1202. The purpose of the Phase 3 trial, referred to as the GENUINE trial, was to show that TG-1101 could show an improvement in overall response rate and progression-free survival ("PFS") in 330 previously-treated patients with certain cancer cell mutations. The complaint alleges that TG Therapeutics officials omitted material information concerning the Phase 3 trial, assuring investors that it was a "best-in-class" treatment that would be "successful" and "offer patients a novel chemo-free treatment option." In addition, TG Therapeutics allegedly failed to implement a proper screening protocol in the GENUINE enrolling sites and was not enrolling patients at the required rate for the study to be completed on time. Finally, contrary to the company's representations, the trial would never get 330 enrolled patients and PFS was not an achievable endpoint.

On October 13, 2016, TG Therapeutics issued a press release announcing that it had filed with the FDA an amended protocol for the GENUINE Phase 3 trial, stating, " The GENUINE study, as amended, remains a robust, randomized clinical trial, which we believe, if positive, could support accelerated approval for patients with relapsed/refractory high-risk [Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia]." That same day, TheStreet published an article stating that TG Therapeutics had long suffered from a management credibility problem. The article further pointed out that the company cut planned enrollment for the GENUINE trial by one-third, eliminated important efficacy endpoints, and generally exposed the company to more risk.

On this news, TG Therapeutics' stock declined by approximately 27% to close at $6.01 per share on October 17, 2016.
