Investor Deadline Approaching: Legal Actions in Focus
Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP, a prominent securities law firm with extensive experience in investor protection, is currently investigating potential legal claims on behalf of investors in Rocket Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: RCKT). The investigations center on allegations regarding misleading information shared with investors and failures to disclose material facts that significantly affected stock values.
Background on Rocket Pharmaceuticals
Rocket Pharmaceuticals is known for its innovative approaches to gene therapy, particularly in treating rare genetic diseases. However, recent developments have raised serious concerns regarding the company’s clinical trial processes and communication practices. Between February 27, 2025, and May 26, 2025, many investors reportedly suffered losses exceeding $50,000 sustained from investing in Rocket shares.
On May 27, 2025, Rocket announced that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) had placed a clinical hold on its RP-A501 Phase 2 pivotal study. This announcement followed tragic reports of Serious Adverse Events (SAEs), including a patient death linked to the ongoing trial. Critically, Rocket had altered the clinical trial protocol to introduce an experimental immunomodulatory agent but failed to adequately inform investors about these changes.
The Allegations
The complaint lodged against Rocket Pharmaceuticals alleges that, while the company continued to paint a positive picture to shareholders, it concealed key information that misled investors. Specifically, it is claimed that Rocket knew about the risks posed by SAEs but did not disclose this to its investors. Consequently, shareholders were induced to buy stocks at inflated prices, only to face significant losses when the truth came to light.
Rocket’s stock plummeted from $6.27 to $2.33 on the trading day following the FDA announcement, marking a staggering 37% decline. This sharp drop further emphasizes the potential fallout from the firm's handling of both clinical trial updates and investor communications.
Call to Action for Investors
James (Josh) Wilson, a partner at Faruqi & Faruqi, underscores the urgency for affected investors to act swiftly.

Conclusion
The situation surrounding Rocket Pharmaceuticals serves as a stark reminder of the risks inherent in investing, particularly in sectors driven by clinical trials and regulatory reviews.
