What's Happening?
Faruqi & Faruqi LLP, a national securities law firm, is investigating claims against Inovio Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and has reminded investors of the April 7, 2026 deadline to seek the role of lead plaintiff in a federal securities class action. The lawsuit alleges that Inovio and its executives made false or misleading statements regarding the manufacturing of its CELLECTRA device and the regulatory prospects of its INO-3107 treatment for recurrent respiratory papillomatosis. The FDA accepted Inovio's Biologics License Application for INO-3107 on a standard review timeline, but noted insufficient information for accelerated approval. Following this announcement, Inovio's stock price fell significantly.
