Former Attorney General of Louisiana, Charles C. Foti, Jr., Esq., a partner at the law firm of Kahn Swick & Foti, LLC (“KSF”), announces that KSF has commenced an investigation into Sarepta Therapeutics, Inc. (NasdaqGS: SRPT) (“Sarepta” or the “Company”).
Sarepta is a biopharmaceutical company focused on developing treatments for rare diseases. Sarepta’s most important product is Elevidys, a therapy for the treatment of Duchenne muscular dystrophy. As alleged, Sarepta repeatedly touted the safety profile of Elevidys and told investors that the benefits of the treatment outweighed its risks.
On March 18, 2025, the Company issued a press release revealing that a 16-year-old boy had passed away from acute liver failure following treatment with Sarepta’s gene therapy, ELEVIDYS. However, the Company assured investors that “the benefit-risk of ELEVIDYS remains positive.” Then, on June 15, 2025, the Company announced that a second patient treated with Elevidys had died from acute liver failure and that it was suspending certain shipments of Elevidys and paused dosing in an ongoing clinical trial of the treatment. Finally, on July 17, 2025, the Company revealed that a third patient treated with one of Sarepta’s investigational treatments related to Elevidys had died from acute liver failure in June 2025.
Thereafter, the Company and certain of its executives were sued in a securities class action lawsuit, charging them with failing to disclose material information during the Class Period in violation of federal securities laws, which remains ongoing.
KSF’s investigation is focusing on whether Sarepta’s officers and/or directors breached their fiduciary duties to its shareholders or otherwise violated state or federal laws.
