Sarepta Therapeutics Faces Investor Scrutiny

Recently, Pomerantz Law Firm has brought to light a class action lawsuit against Sarepta Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: SRPT) amid troubling circumstances surrounding its crucial drug, ELEVIDYS, designed for treating Duchenne muscular dystrophy. The lawsuit is a direct response to significant concerns raised by investors who have experienced losses following alarming reports regarding patients treated with this medication.

The series of unfortunate events began on March 18, 2025, when Sarepta publicly announced the death of a young man who was being treated with ELEVIDYS, which led to a catastrophic drop in the company’s stock price. Following this disclosure, Sarepta’s shares plummeted by over 27%, closing at $73.54. This immediate market reaction highlighted the profound impact of reputational hits on biotech companies, particularly those involved in life-threatening conditions.

As the fallout continued, on April 4, Sarepta faced further scrutiny when European authorities required an independent data monitoring committee to evaluate the initial death case. The company subsequently announced a halt in patient recruitment and dosing in some clinical studies for ELEVIDYS, which caused more alarm among investors, resulting in an additional decrease of over 7% in stock prices, bringing it down to $54.43.

The situation worsened on June 15, when another report of acute liver failure resulting in another death was disclosed. This prompted Sarepta to pause ongoing clinical trials and temporarily suspend the drug’s distribution to non-ambulatory patients. The market reaction was stark, with shares falling an alarming 42%, ending the next trading day at $20.94.

Compounding these challenges, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a Safety Communication on June 24, confirming investigations into injury reports related to ELEVIDYS due to acute liver failure, which further exacerbated investor anxiety and resulted in yet another decline in stock price.

In light of these developments, Pomerantz LLP is advising affected investors to consider their legal options by joining the class action lawsuit. Investors who acquired Sarepta securities during the class period have until August 25, 2025, to seek appointment as Lead Plaintiff. Interested parties are encouraged to reach out to Danielle Peyton from Pomerantz for more information regarding participation.
