Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP Investigates Rocket Pharmaceuticals Investor Claims
Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP, a prominent national securities law firm, has launched an investigation regarding the potential claims related to Rocket Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: RCKT). This action follows alarming news regarding the safety of a drug in clinical trials, raising concerns for investors who purchased shares during the period between February 27, 2025, and May 26, 2025. The firm is reaching out to those investors to discuss possible legal remedies available to them, particularly with a looming deadline of August 11, 2025, for seeking the lead plaintiff position in a federal securities class action filed against Rocket Pharmaceuticals.
The investigation was prompted by troubling findings related to Rocket’s RP-A501 drug, which faced critical scrutiny after a patient experienced a Serious Adverse Event (SAE) during the clinical trials. It was reported that this incident resulted in the death of a participant, highlighting serious safety concerns that the company allegedly failed to disclose adequately to its investors.
The crux of the problem lies in Rocket Pharmaceuticals’ communication with its investors. According to the lawsuit, the company delivered excessively optimistic statements regarding the safety and efficacy of its drug while simultaneously hiding severe facts about its clinical trial protocols. Notably, Rocket had amended the trial protocol to incorporate a novel immunomodulatory agent into the pre-treatment regimen without informing investors of this significant adjustment.
This lack of transparency is said to have misled investors into purchasing Rocket’s securities at prices that were artificially inflated. Following the announcement of the FDA's clinical hold on the RP-A501 Phase 2 pivotal study, prompted by the SAE, the company’s stock price saw a dramatic drop. On May 23, 2025, the stock closed at $6.27 per share but plummeted to $2.33 on May 27, 2025, marking a 37% decline in just one trading day.
James (Josh) Wilson, a partner at Faruqi & Faruqi, is encouraging anyone interested in discussing their legal rights and options to reach out. Potential lead plaintiffs must be an investor with significant financial interests aligned with the claims against Rocket Pharmaceuticals who can effectively represent the class of affected investors.
Faruqi & Faruqi has a commendable history of recovering substantial financial compensation for investors, having been established in 1995. As part of their commitment to investor advocacy, the firm also welcomes information from whistleblowers, former employees, and any other stakeholders who might possess relevant insights into Rocket’s corporate conduct.
Concerns about safety and misinformation in clinical trials are not new in the pharmaceutical industry, yet the serious nature of these allegations against Rocket Pharmaceuticals warrants thorough examination and accountability. The outcome of the investigation by Faruqi & Faruqi could potentially affect the financial plight of numerous investors who relied on the integrity of the company’s financial disclosures.
