A securities fraud class action lawsuit has been filed against Soleno Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ:SLNO) on behalf of investors who purchased the company's securities between March 26, 2025 and November 4, 2025. The lawsuit alleges that Soleno downplayed, misrepresented, and concealed significant evidence of safety concerns related to its lead drug candidate DCCR, which posed greater risks than disclosed by the company.
Why it matters
This lawsuit highlights the importance of transparency and accurate disclosure from pharmaceutical companies, especially regarding the safety and efficacy of their drug candidates. Investors rely on this information to make informed decisions, and any misleading or incomplete information can lead to significant financial losses.
The details
The lawsuit alleges that Soleno's Phase 3 clinical trial program for DCCR, its drug for treating hyperphagia in individuals with Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS), systematically downplayed, misrepresented, and concealed evidence of safety concerns, including issues related to excess fluid retention in clinical trial participants. As a result, the administration of DCCR posed materially greater safety risks than disclosed by Soleno, which could lead to higher patient discontinuation rates, lower adoption, and potential regulatory action.
- On August 15, 2025, Scorpion Capital published a report that described Soleno's DCCR as overpriced and potentially unsafe for children, causing Soleno's stock price to decline by 7.41%.
- On September 10, 2025, Soleno filed an 8-K disclosing that a patient had died after taking DCCR, causing the stock price to decline by 14.53%.
- On November 4, 2025, Soleno revealed during its earnings call that the discontinuation rate of DCCR related to adverse effects was approximately 8%, causing the stock price to decline by 26.59%.
