Rocket Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Faces Class Action Lawsuit
Overview
Rocket Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: RCKT) is currently embroiled in a significant legal battle as a class action lawsuit alleging securities law violations has been filed against the company. The lawsuit, brought forth by Levi & Korsinsky LLP, centers on the claims that Rocket engaged in misleading and fraudulent activities that adversely impacted investors.
Class Action Details
The lawsuit's class definition includes all investors who purchased shares of Rocket Pharmaceuticals between February 27, 2025, and May 26, 2025. The plaintiffs claim that during this period, the company provided optimistic statements about its flagship product, RP-A501. However, they failed to disclose critical information regarding the safety and clinical trial protocols related to the drug.
Particularly alarming is the claim that the company concealed serious adverse events (SAEs) that occurred during clinical trials, including the death of participants. It is alleged that Rocket amended its clinical trial protocol to incorporate a new immunomodulatory agent without properly informing investors of these changes. It is suggested that these actions led investors to buy Rocket's stock at inflated prices, severely impacting their financial standing once the truth came to light.
Critical Events
The turning point came on May 27, 2025, when Rocket announced that the FDA imposed a clinical hold on the RP-A501 Phase 2 pivotal study due to critical issues that arose. This announcement followed the compounding of SAEs, including patient mortality, which occurred after the company had made undisclosed adjustments to its trial protocol. After the announcement, the stock's value plummeted from $6.27 per share on May 23 to $2.33 by May 27, reflecting a staggering 37% decrease in a single trading day. This drastic fall has raised concerns among shareholders regarding the company’s transparency and adherence to securities regulations.
Call to Action for Affected Investors
Affected investors have until August 11, 2025, to file their requests for lead plaintiff status in the ongoing lawsuit. Importantly, those who qualify for this class action do not have to be lead plaintiffs to be eligible for compensation; participation could still lead to recovery for losses incurred.
