Pomerantz Law Firm Investigates Allegations Against CARGO Therapeutics for Securities Fraud

CARGO Therapeutics Under Investigation for Securities Fraud

The Pomerantz Law Firm has initiated an investigation regarding claims on behalf of investors of CARGO Therapeutics, Inc., a company publicly traded under the NASDAQ ticker CRGX. This inquiry aims to uncover possible instances of securities fraud and any unlawful practices conducted by the company’s officers and directors.

Background on CARGO Therapeutics

CARGO Therapeutics, dedicated to developing innovative cancer therapies, went public around November 10, 2023. During its initial public offering (IPO), the company successfully sold 18.75 million common shares at a price of $15.00 each. Investors were optimistic about CARGO’s prospects, given the increasing demand for effective cancer treatments.

However, on January 29, 2025, the optimism surrounding CARGO took a significant hit when the company announced the discontinuation of its FIRCE-1 clinical study. This Phase 2 trial sought to assess the effectiveness of the drug firi-cel for patients battling large B-cell lymphoma whose conditions had relapsed or been refractory to prior therapies, particularly CD19 CAR T-cell treatment.

In a press release, CARGO cited that the findings from the clinical trial did not support a favorable benefit-risk assessment for firi-cel in the patient cohort under review. Following this bombshell news, the company declared a strategic decision to reduce its workforce and concentrate resources on advancing another candidate, CRG-023, towards Phase 1 proof-of-concept studies.

Impact on Stock Performance

This announcement had immediate consequences on the market, with CARGO’s share price plummeting by $9.80, equating to a startling 74.3% drop, closing at just $3.39 per share by January 30, 2025. Such a drastic decline raised red flags for investors and prompted the Pomerantz Law Firm to investigate potential misconduct related to the company’s public disclosures and business practices leading up to this financial fallout.
