What's Happening?
Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP, a national securities law firm, is reminding investors of Skye Biosciences, Inc. about a pending class action lawsuit. The firm is investigating claims against Skye Biosciences, alleging
that the company and its executives violated federal securities laws. The allegations include making false or misleading statements about the effectiveness of nimacimab, a CB1 inhibitor antibody, and overstating its clinical, regulatory, and commercial prospects. The lawsuit follows a significant drop in Skye's stock price after the company announced that nimacimab did not meet its primary endpoint in a Phase 2a study. Investors who purchased or acquired Skye securities between November 4, 2024, and October 3, 2025, are encouraged to contact the firm to discuss their legal rights. The deadline to seek the role of lead plaintiff in the lawsuit is January 16, 2026.

For investors, the outcome of this lawsuit could impact their financial recovery from losses incurred due to the drop in Skye's stock price. The case underscores the importance of transparency and accuracy in corporate communications, particularly in the biotech sector where drug efficacy and regulatory approval are critical. The lawsuit also serves as a reminder for investors to remain vigilant and informed about the companies they invest in, as misleading statements can lead to substantial financial losses.
What's Next?
Investors interested in becoming the lead plaintiff must file their motion by the January 16, 2026 deadline. The court will appoint the lead plaintiff, who will represent the interests of the class in the litigation.
