CASE ALLEGATIONS: Capricor is a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing transformative cell- and exosome-based therapeutics for treating Duchenne muscular dystrophy (“DMD”) and other diseases.
The Capricor class action lawsuit alleges that throughout the Class Period, defendants made false or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose adverse facts concerning four-year safety and efficacy data from its Phase 2 HOPE-2 trial, giving the false impression that Capricor could obtain first approval for DMD cardiomyopathy.
The complaint further alleges that on May 5, 2025, Capricor announced it had completed its mid-cycle review meeting with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) for deramiocel, reporting no significant deficiencies and confirming that the application remained on track for a Prescription Drug User Fee Act action date of August 31, 2025. The FDA also confirmed its intent to hold an advisory committee meeting. According to the complaint, on this news, Capricor’s stock fell more than 29%.
The Capricor class action lawsuit further alleges that on June 20, 2025, Stat News reported that Vinjay Prasad, director of the FDA’s Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research, canceled the advisory committee meeting due to skepticism regarding deramiocel’s efficacy and safety. On this news, Capricor’s stock fell more than 30%, according to the complaint.
Finally, on July 11, 2025, the complaint alleges that Capricor announced it had received a Complete Response Letter from the FDA denying its Biologics License Application for deramiocel, citing insufficient evidence of effectiveness and the need for additional clinical data. On this news, Capricor’s stock fell nearly 33%, according to the complaint.
