BioNTech SE Investigation Initiated: Levi & Korsinsky Investigates the Officers and Directors of BioNTech SE (BNTX)
NEW YORK CITY, NY / ACCESS Newswire / October 16, 2026 / Levi & Korsinsky notifies investors that it has commenced an investigation into BioNTech SE ("BioNTech SE") (NASDAQ:BNTX) concerning potential violations of the federal securities laws.
BioNTech SE shares fell approximately 7.13% after the Company reported that its Phase 2/3 AHEAD-MERIT trial of BNT113 combined with pembrolizumab did not achieve its progression-free survival primary endpoint in HPV16-positive head and neck cancer. The stock decline was clinical-trial-driven, as the trial continues toward its second co-primary endpoint evaluating overall survival. In Form 6-K exhibits filed on August 4, 2026, the Company emphasized an "Advanced diversified pipeline now with 14 ongoing pivotal clinical trials and more than ten novel-novel combinations across major tumor types" while targeting "17+ Late-Stage and Pivotal Trial Readouts Informing Multiple Launch Opportunities." Earlier, during an earnings call on March 10, 2026, Chief Medical Officer Özlem Türeci stated, "Recruitment is ongoing and the Phase III interim analysis is expected in 2026." On August 4, 2026, Chief Medical Officer Özlem Türeci stated, "For BNT113, based on current event accrual projections, we expect a Phase III interim analysis for progression-free survival later this year." The investigation concerns whether BioNTech SE adequately disclosed the clinical trial status and progression-free survival results for BNT113 ahead of the public announcement.
