IRVINE, CA / ACCESSWIRE / December 30, 2016 / Khang & Khang LLP (the "Firm") announces a class action lawsuit against Cempra, Inc. ("Cempra" or the "Company") (CEMP).

The Complaint alleges that during the Class Period, Cempra made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that solithromycin posed significant safety risks for hepatotoxicity, so the Company'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 on its website of Cempra's drug, solithromycin, highlighting a significant safety signal for hepatotoxicity. When this news was disclosed to the public, shares of Cempra decreased in value, causing investors harm.
