DEADLINE ALERT: Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP Investigates Claims On Behalf Of Investors Of Intellia Therapeutics

(MENAFN- PR Newswire) Faruqi & Faruqi is a leading national securities law firm with offices in New York, Pennsylvania, California and Georgia. The firm has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors since its founding in 1995. See .

As detailed below, the complaint alleges that the Company and its executives violated federal securities laws by making false and/or misleading statements and/or failing to disclose material information concerning Intellia's Phase 1/2 study evaluating NTLA-3001 for the treatment of alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (AATD)-associated lung disease. Defendants' statements included, among other things, confidence in the Company's timeline for the aforementioned study, specifically that Intellia expected to dose the first patient in the second half of 2024. Defendants failed to disclose inter alia that the demand for viral-based editing was rapidly dwindling as non-viral delivery methods became a main target of the scientific research community due to their cost-effectiveness and more efficient development, thus making NTLA-3001 an inefficient program for Intellia to maintain.

On January 9, 2025, Intellia issued a press release "announc[ing] its strategic priorities and key anticipated 2025 milestones". Among other items, Intellia announced that it plans to focus its resources on developing drug candidates NTLA-2002 and nex-z and will discontinue development of NTLA-3001, which will result in the Company cutting around 27% of its workforce. Intellia said that it expects to incur charges of approximately $8 million in the first quarter of 2025 in connection with the restructuring. Intellia further announced the retirement of its Chief Scientific Officer, Laura Sepp-Lorenzino, Ph.D.

On this news, Intellia's stock price fell $1.82 per share, or 15.14%, to close at $10.20 per share on January 10, 2025.
