On July 28, 2025, Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd LLP announced the initiation of a class action lawsuit against Rocket Pharmaceuticals, Inc. This lawsuit, known as Ho v. Rocket Pharmaceuticals, Inc., is pending in the District of New Jersey and is aimed at representing investors who have suffered significant financial losses related to Rocket Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: RCKT) securities. The allegations include violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, raising serious concerns about the company’s disclosures regarding their clinical trial processes.
Rocket Pharmaceuticals is recognized as a late-stage biotechnology firm focused on pioneering gene therapies for rare and life-threatening diseases. The lawsuit asserts that the company, along with one of its executives, misled investors by withholding crucial and material information regarding the safety and efficacy of the RP-A501 treatment for Danon disease. Specifically, it claims that the defendants made misleading statements and omitted key facts about the risks associated with the clinical trials, which included serious adverse events and even deaths of trial participants.
As part of the lawsuit, it was revealed that Rocket Pharmaceuticals had amended its clinical trial protocols to integrate a new immunomodulatory agent without properly informing shareholders about these vital updates. This lack of transparency is particularly concerning given that the changes were made alongside a growing number of severe adverse events reported during the trial phase. According to the complaint, this lack of communication and failure to disclose critical updates led to a significant decline in the stock price of Rocket Pharmaceuticals following an announcement from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that placed a clinical hold on their Phase 2 pivotal study due to patient safety concerns.
Investors who believe they have incurred financial losses during the class period are being encouraged to come forward to potentially serve as lead plaintiffs in the class action lawsuit. The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 permits any investor who acquired Rocket Pharmaceuticals securities during the specified class period to seek lead plaintiff status, typically reserved for individuals with the most substantial financial interest in the outcomes of the suit. Lead plaintiffs are essential in directing the litigation process, and they can choose legal representation to handle the case on behalf of all class members.
