Faruqi & Faruqi Conducts Investigation for Caribou Biosciences Investors as Class Action Looms

In recent developments, Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP, a prominent national securities law firm, is actively investigating possible claims on behalf of investors who purchased securities in Caribou Biosciences, Inc. ('Caribou') between July 14, 2023, and July 16, 2024. The firm has urged affected investors to reach out to discuss their legal options, especially in light of a federal securities class action that has been initiated against Caribou, which has a deadline for seeking lead plaintiff status set for February 24, 2025.

The firm’s investigation centers around allegations that Caribou and its executives may have violated federal securities laws by making misleading statements and failing to adequately disclose critical information regarding their promising therapy, CB-010. Specifically, these claims suggest that the company overstated the treatment's safety, efficacy, and potential market viability against approved therapies like autologous CAR-T cell therapies used in patients with relapsed or refractory B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (r/r B-NHL) and large B-cell lymphoma (LBCL).

Further complicating matters, Caribou has faced scrutiny regarding its financial stability. Reports indicate significant risks regarding the company’s liquidity and funding capabilities, which are essential for maintaining its current operations and ongoing research, particularly as it relates to its allogeneic CAR-NK platform.

In June 2024, Caribou presented updated clinical data from the ongoing ANTLER Phase 1 trial, claiming that a single dose of CB-010 could rival established CAR-T therapies. However, the following day, analysts at Evercore ISI downgraded their projection for Caribou’s stock, citing lack of convincing data to support the competitiveness of CB-010. This downgrade led to a significant drop in Caribou's stock price, plummeting by 25.52% in one day—a direct reaction to the skepticism surrounding its therapies.

On July 16, 2024, Caribou further revealed troubling news in a Securities and Exchange Commission filing, announcing the discontinuation of preclinical research related to its allogeneic CAR-NK platform and a reduction of its workforce by 12%. These developments contributed to yet another decline in the company’s stock, indicating growing concerns among investors about Caribou's future.

Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP is not only focused on legal claims from investors but is also reaching out to anyone with valuable information about Caribou's conduct, including whistleblowers and former employees, urging them to come forward. The firm’s effort showcases its commitment to ensuring that investors are informed about their rights and the potential for recovery in this ongoing legal battle.

As the class action progresses, investors will need to monitor developments closely and consider their legal standing, whether they choose to assert themselves as lead plaintiffs or remain as class members. The actions taken by Caribou’s management, from executive announcements down to financial disclosures, will undoubtedly be crucial in the unfolding narrative of investor relations and legal accountability within the biotech sector.
