Levi & Korsinsky Announces Class Action Against Ultragenyx Pharmaceutical Inc.
In a recent development, Levi & Korsinsky, LLP has informed investors in
Ultragenyx Pharmaceutical Inc. (tickers: NASDAQ: RARE) about a class action lawsuit concerning alleged securities fraud. This lawsuit represents an essential juncture for shareholders who may have suffered losses between
August 3, 2023, and
December 26, 2025. If you have been affected by these events, it's critical to understand the implications and your potential rights going forward.
Definition of the Class
The lawsuit is aimed at recovering losses incurred by investors who were adversely impacted by the alleged fraudulent activities carried out by the company. The
class is defined as those shareholders who acquired shares during the specified timeframe and faced financial losses as a result of misleading information disseminated by Ultragenyx.
Accusations and Case Details
The complaint outlines that Ultragenyx's management provided overly optimistic statements to the shareholders while failing to disclose the true risks associated with the clinical trials related to their drug,
setrusumab. The defendants are accused of intentionally concealing material facts, particularly concerning the drug's purported efficacy in reducing clinical fracture rates.
Despite initial claims that setrusumab could significantly increase bone density, the lawsuit alleges that this outcome did not correlate with a reduced incidence of fractures. This discrepancy came to light when, on
December 29, 2025, Ultragenyx reported that the Phase III clinical trials, known as the
Orbit and
Cosmic studies, did not meet the primary endpoints necessary to confirm efficacy against the placebo.
When this information surfaced, the company witnessed a catastrophic drop in its stock price, plummeting by
42.32% in a single day—from a closing price of
$34.19 per share on December 26, 2025, to
$19.72 per share by December 29, 2025. This dramatic decline has significantly shaken investor confidence and raised concerns over the integrity of Ultragenyx's disclosures.
Next Steps for Investors
For those who experienced losses during this timeframe, it’s important to take note that the deadline to request to be named as the lead plaintiff in this case is
April 6, 2026. It's crucial to acknowledge that participating in this potential recovery does not necessitate serving as a lead plaintiff.
