The Allegations: Robbins LLP is Investigating Allegations that Verve Therapeutics, Inc. (VERV) Misled Investors Regarding its Clinical Trial

According to the complaint, during the class period, defendants failed to disclose that: (1) they did not fully disclose the circumstances under which the Heart-1 trial would be halted; (2) they overstated the potential benefits of its proprietary LNP delivery system; and (3) as a result, Defendants’ statements about its business, operations, and prospects, were materially false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.

On April 2, 2024, Verve issued a press release disclosing that the Heart-1 clinical trial would be halted due to an adverse event in an individual who had been dosed at 0.45 mg/kg of VERVE-101, and that the LNP delivery system was to blame. On this news, the price of Verve Therapeutics stock fell by $4.47, or 34.9%, to close at $8.32 on April 2, 2024.
