What's Happening?
The Rosen Law Firm has announced a class action lawsuit against Capricor Therapeutics, Inc., targeting investors who purchased securities between October 9, 2024, and July 10, 2025. The lawsuit alleges that Capricor provided misleading information about its lead cell therapy candidate, deramiocel, intended for treating cardiomyopathy associated with Duchenne muscular dystrophy. The firm claims that Capricor's statements about obtaining a Biologics License Application from the FDA were misleading, as they concealed adverse facts about the drug's safety and efficacy from its Phase 2 HOPE-2 trial. This allegedly led to artificially inflated stock prices, causing financial losses when the truth emerged.
