Attention Soleno Therapeutics Investors
If you purchased common stock of Soleno Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: SLNO) between March 26, 2025, and November 4, 2025, there is crucial information you need to know regarding a securities fraud class action lawsuit. This legal action has been initiated against Soleno Therapeutics concerning numerous allegations related to the company's operations and the safety of its products.
Background of the Lawsuit
On April 8, 2026, it was revealed that a litigation firm, Kessler Topaz Meltzer & Check, LLP, filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. This lawsuit is on behalf of investors who claim to have been misled by significant misstatements and omissions from Soleno regarding its Phase 3 clinical trial program for its primary product, diazoxide choline extended-release tablets, known as DCCR.
Allegations Against Soleno Therapeutics
The lawsuit outlines allegations that the defendants made materially false and misleading statements about the business and operations of Soleno. Specifically, it is claimed that:
1.
Safety Concerns: Soleno’s Phase 3 clinical trials for DCCR inadequately reported safety issues related to fluid retention in participants, posing risks that were not disclosed adequately.
2.
Undisclosed Risks: Due to these safety concerns, DCCR was determined to have lower commercial viability than what had been represented by Soleno officials, leading to potential adverse events after its release.
3.
Stock Performance and Market Reaction: Following a report by Scorpion Capital on August 15, 2025, which highlighted significant issues within Soleno's clinical trials, the company’s stock price plummeted over 26%. This was indicative of investor concern that escalated due to increased patient discontinuation rates and diminished market confidence in the product.
