Sarepta Faces Class Action Elevidys Safety Claims
A class action was filed against Sarepta Therapeutics by Levi Korsinsky on June 26, 2025. The plaintiffs, who bought Sarepta stock during a defined period, seek damages for losses tied to inflated prices linked to Elevidys claims. The suit alleges the company and three senior officers misled investors by omitting safety and trial data in filings and investor materials. Sarepta reported strong revenue and growth around Elevidys in 2023 and 2024, including milestones and favorable statements from the CEO. The FDA later issued a safety communication on June 24 2025 noting reports of two deaths and risk of acute liver failure associated with Elevidys, intensifying regulatory scrutiny.
Stock market responses reflected concern, with Sarepta stock suffering a sharp decline this year as the dispute over safety and regulatory risk intensified.

Beyond Sarepta, the suit underscores growing scrutiny of safety signals in gene therapies and the rising cost of public litigation for drug developers.
