Case Allegations

Verve is a biotechnology company developing single-course gene editing medicines to treat cardiovascular disease. During the Class Period, Verve was conducting the Heart-1 Phase 1b clinical trial of VERVE-101, “a novel, investigational gene editing medicine . . . designed to be a single-course treatment that permanently turns off the PCSK9 gene in the liver to reduce disease-driving low-density lipoprotein cholesterol” (the “VERVE-101 Trial”).

The Verve lawsuit alleges that Defendants made materially false, or misleading statements about the Company’s VERVE-101 Trial and its proprietary lipid nanoparticle (“LNP”) delivery system. Specifically, Defendants did not fully disclose the specific reasons for which enrollment in the VERVE-101 Trial would be halted and overstated the potential of LNP delivery technology while omitting it could be inferior to other viral delivery methods.

The truth was revealed on April 2, 2024 when Verve announced it stopped the VERVE-101 Trial after an individual who had been dosed at 0.45 mg/kg of VERVE-101 suffered an adverse event caused by the LNP delivery technology.

On this news, Verve’s stock price dropped by $4.47, or 34.9%, to close at $8.32 per share on April 2, 2024.
