What Is This Lawsuit About? The lawsuit alleges that (i) the Soleno Phase 3 clinical trial program for DCCR, trademarked as Vykat XR, had systematically downplayed, misrepresented, and/or concealed significant evidence of safety concerns potentially related to the administration of DCCR, including issues related to excess fluid retention in clinical trial participants; (ii) as a result, the administration of DCCR to treat hyperphagia in individuals with PWS posed materially greater safety risks than disclosed by Soleno or its executives; and (iii) consequently, DCCR had materially lower commercial viability and undisclosed risks related to the likelihood of significant and widespread adverse events after its commercial launch, including risks related to patient discontinuation rates, lower patient adoption, prescriber reluctance, adverse regulatory action, and potential reputational and legal fallout.
On August 15, 2025, Scorpion Capital published a report that described Soleno’s only product, DCCR, as overpriced and potentially unsafe for children. On this news, the price of Soleno shares declined by $5.73 per share, or approximately 7.41%, from $77.36 per share on August 14, 2025 to close at $71.64 on August 15, 2025.
Then, on September 10, 2025, Soleno filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission a current event report on Form 8-K disclosing that a patient had died after taking DCCR. On this news, the price of Soleno shares declined by $10.20 per share, or approximately 14.53%, from $70.21 per share on September 9, 2025 to close at $60.01 on September 10, 2025.
Then on November 4, 2025, Soleno revealed during its quarterly earnings call that the discontinuation rate of DCCR related to adverse effects was approximately 8% at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2025. Soleno’s Chief Executive Officer disclosed during the call that Soleno “did see a disruption in our [DCCR] launch trajectory in the wake of a short seller report that was released in mid-August [i.e, the Scorpion Capital report], mostly in the form of a lower number of start forms and increased discontinuations for non-serious adverse events.” On this news, the price of Soleno shares declined by $16.98 per share, or approximately 26.59%, from $63.85 per share on November 4, 2025 to close at $46.87 on November 5, 2025.
[LEARN MORE ABOUT THE LAWSUIT]
The Lead Plaintiff Appointment Process. The federal securities laws permit any investor who acquired eligible securities during the class period to seek appointment as lead plaintiff in a class action lawsuit. Courts typically appoint the investor(s) with the largest financial loss in the case and the ability to represent the class rather than investors with simply the largest investment portfolio. Courts regularly appoint individual investors, whether acting alone or as a group, as lead plaintiffs. The rights of any investor who bought shares during the class period are generally already protected. However, lead plaintiffs have the power to influence case strategy and have a say in settlement decisions, as well as decisions concerning allocation of settlement funds among class members.
