Faruqi & Faruqi Investigates Sarepta Therapeutics for Potential Investor Claims
Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP, a prominent national law firm specializing in securities litigation, has turned its attention towards Sarepta Therapeutics, Inc. This investigation comes amid alarming safety concerns surrounding Sarepta's treatment drug, ELEVIDYS, which has been linked to significant adverse events, including fatalities. Investors who acquired stock between June 22, 2023, and June 24, 2025, should be aware of the impending deadline for potential legal action, which falls on August 25, 2025.
The investigation centers on claims that Sarepta and its executives may have violated federal securities laws by disseminating false and misleading statements about ELEVIDYS. The firm alleges that these communications failed to disclose critical safety risks associated with the drug, leading to patients suffering severe side effects.
The turmoil began when, on March 18, 2025, the company announced that a patient had died after being treated with ELEVIDYS. This shocking revelation caused Sarepta's stock to plummet by 27.44%, marking a significant loss for investors. Subsequent updates revealed additional complications. On April 4, Sarepta reported scrutiny from European authorities regarding the previous death and suspended recruitment and dosing in some clinical trials, leading to further declines in stock value.
As if this weren't alarming enough, another patient died from acute liver failure on June 15, prompting the firm to halt shipments for a particular patient demographic, triggering another massive stock drop of over 40%. Finally, on June 24, 2025, the FDA issued a safety communication indicating that it was investigating cases of serious outcomes following treatment with ELEVIDYS, resulting in yet another fall in stock prices.
Faruqi & Faruqi is urging investors affected by these events to reach out to discuss their options for participating in the class action lawsuit. The firm is committed to seeking justice for those misled by Sarepta’s executives and will work diligently to uncover the truth behind the alleged misconduct. This ongoing investigation exemplifies the increasing vigilance within the securities space, helping to ensure that companies remain accountable to their stakeholders.
For those who believe they may have relevant information, including whistleblowers or former employees, Faruqi & Faruqi encourages them to come forward to assist in the investigation. The case highlights the critical importance of transparent communication in the pharmaceutical industry, especially concerning the safety of treatments impacting vulnerable populations.
Potential lead plaintiffs in the case will be investors with the most significant financial interest in the matter and who are representative of others in the proposed class. They may court with their own legal representatives or choose to remain as unnamed members of the class. Regardless of their decisions, the rights to any recoveries stemming from the case remain intact.
From this backdrop of legal scrutiny and investor concern, Sarepta Therapeutics now finds itself at a precarious crossroads.
