Intellia Therapeutics Faces Class Action Lawsuit from Investors
In an important announcement,
Levi & Korsinsky, LLP has made it known that investors in
Intellia Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: NTLA) are invited to participate in a class action lawsuit. This legal action is aimed at those who suffered losses tied to alleged securities fraud occurring from
July 30, 2024, to
January 8, 2025. With a deadline of
April 14, 2025, investors are urged to act swiftly to protect their rights.
Overview of the Class Action
This lawsuit seeks to recover losses for Intellia investors. The complaint highlights an ongoing legal case that alleges significant misrepresentation by company executives concerning the company’s
Phase 1/2 clinical trial for NTLA-3001, a treatment targeted at
alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (AATD)-associated lung disease. Crucially, investors were given assurances regarding the trial's progress and were led to believe that the initial patient would be dosed in the latter half of
2024.
However, the lawsuit claims that vital information regarding the project's viability was never disclosed. It has come to light that demand for viral-based gene editing was diminishing, with a shift towards non-viral delivery methods gaining preference within the scientific community due to their cost-effectiveness and efficiency. As a result, NTLA-3001, initially viewed as a promising program, was rendered less viable for the company’s future.
The situation escalated dramatically on
January 9, 2025, when Intellia announced a major reorganization. This included halting all research related to NTLA-3001 and a planned reduction of their workforce by
27% for the upcoming year. The company indicated a strategic pivot towards other pharmaceutical developments, revealing that NTLA-3001 was no longer a focal point of their pipeline priorities. Following this news, Intellia's stock plummeted from
$12.02 per share on January 8 to
$10.20 just two days later, reflecting investors' immediate loss of confidence.
What Investors Should Do
For investors who experienced financial losses during the specified period, there remains a critical opportunity to act before the April deadline. Participation does not require investors to act as lead plaintiffs to share in any potential recovery, and the legal process poses no upfront costs to class members.
