Class Action Against Capricor Therapeutics: What You Need to Know
On August 8, 2025, Levi & Korsinsky, LLP announced the initiation of a class action lawsuit against Capricor Therapeutics, Inc. (listed on NASDAQ as CAPR). This legal action seeks to recover losses incurred by investors who allegedly fell victim to securities fraud between October 9, 2024, and July 10, 2025.
What Prompted the Class Action?
The class action arises from claims that Capricor Therapeutics provided misleading information regarding its lead cell therapy candidate, deramiocel. This drug was intended to treat cardiomyopathy related to Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). Specifically, the lawsuit accuses the company of making overly positive statements about its ability to secure a Biologics License Application (BLA) from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Among the allegations, it is claimed that while Capricor reassured investors of its promising data, it simultaneously concealed critical facts regarding the safety and efficacy of deramiocel, particularly from the HOPE-2 trial. The complaint asserts that these misleading representations significantly influenced the company’s stock price.
Key Developments and Stock Response
On July 11, 2025, Capricor announced it had received a Complete Response Letter (CRL) from the FDA, stating that the BLA did not meet statutory requirements for substantial evidence of effectiveness and highlighted the necessity for additional clinical data. Following this discouraging news, Capricor’s stock price plummeted from $11.40 per share on July 10 to $7.64 the next day, marking a substantial loss for investors.
Investors' Rights and Next Steps
Investors who suffered losses in Capricor during the specified timeframe have until September 15, 2025, to request the court to appoint them as lead plaintiffs. Importantly, participating in the class action does not demand serving as a lead plaintiff to potentially benefit from any awarded recovery.
Levi & Korsinsky has indicated that if individuals meet the class member criteria, they might be eligible for compensation with no upfront costs involved. The law firm stresses that taking part in this legal process incurs no financial obligations.
