SUNESIS INVESTOR ALERT: Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP Encourages Investors Who Suffered Losses Exceeding $50,000 Investing In Sunesis Pharmaceuticals Inc. To Contact The Firm

NEW YORK, May 2, 2017

The investigation focuses on whether the Company and its executives violated federal securities laws by failing to appropriately disclose the suitability of the Company's treatment for elapsed/refractory acute myeloid leukemia ("AML"), vosaroxin, to receive approval in Europe.

Specifically, on May 2, 2017, Sunesis announced that the Company will withdraw its European Marketing Authorization Application for vosaroxin, following recent interactions with the European Medicine Agency's Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use. The Company announced that it had learned that the committee was likely to formally adopt a negative opinion in its evaluation of the product, leading to its withdrawal.

On this news, Sunesis's share price fell from $3.66 per share on May 1, 2017 to a closing price of $2.96 on May 2, 2017—a $0.70 or a 19% drop.
