Capricor Sues Nippon Shinyaku Over Deramiocel Rights as Shares Fall and Launch Timeline Shifts Capricor Therapeutics filed a lawsuit against Nippon Shinyaku and NS Pharma seeking to cancel their 2022 U.S. distribution deal for Deramiocel, its Duchenne muscular dystrophy candidate.
The company claims NS Pharma’s pricing approach and commercial launch plans could make Deramiocel economically unviable and limit access for patients on Medicare, Medicaid and private insurance.
Capricor is preparing to take back U.S. distribution rights and is expanding manufacturing capacity and its leadership bench. Analysts noted a delayed U.S. launch timeline to 2027 and an 11% stock decline after the news, along with a lower price target but a maintained Buy rating from Roth Capital.
The core issue is that commercialization economics and market access for Deramiocel are now tied to a legal process, which adds an extra layer of timing and execution risk in addition to the usual regulatory steps.
Investors are likely to focus on how quickly the dispute is resolved and how effectively Capricor can build its own commercial infrastructure if it does regain full rights. Recent Insider Transactions Derivative • May 20

New minor risk - Share price stability The company's share price has been volatile over the past 3 months. It is more volatile than 75% of American stocks, typically moving 11% a week. This is considered a minor risk. Share price volatility indicates the stock is highly sensitive to market conditions or economic conditions rather than being sensitive to its own business performance, which may also be inconsistent. It also increases the risk of potential losses in the short term as the stock tends to have larger drops in price more frequently than other stocks. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Revenue is less than US$1m. Minor Risks Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (11% average weekly change). Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (27% increase in shares outstanding).

Capricor Therapeutics Announces Late-Breaking Presentation of Hope-3 Phase 3 Results Capricor Therapeutics had announced the presentation of data from its Phase 3 HOPE-3 clinical trial of Deramiocel in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) at the American Academy of Neurology (AAN) 2026 Annual Meeting in Chicago, Illinois. The data were presented by Dr. Aravindhan Veerapandiyan, Associate Professor and Director of the Comprehensive Neuromuscular Program at Arkansas Children's Hospital, during the Late-Breaking Science 2 session on Tuesday, April 21, 2026. These findings were further supported by an alternative measure of upper limb function, specifically video recordings of tasks performed at home (the Duchenne Video Assessment, or DVA), which showed meaningful slowing of disease progression in the ability to self-feed, a function central to patient independence. These data reinforce the potential of Deramiocel to make a meaningful difference in the lives of those living with Duchenne. The HOPE-3 data tell a compelling story of preserved function, slowed decline, and real-world impact on patients' daily lives, evidence we believe positions Deramiocel as a potentially transformative therapy for Duchenne. With our BLA currently under FDA review and a PDUFA target action date of August 22, 2026, we remain on track and focused on bringing this therapy to the patients who need it as quickly as possible. Data from this presentation were released under AAN embargo on April 21, 2026 at 4:45 p.m. ET. Additional information about the 2026 AAN Annual Meeting is available at www.aan.com. The Company's presentation will be made available in the Investors section of Capricor's website shortly. Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) is a severe, X-linked genetic disorder characterized by progressive muscle degeneration affecting the skeletal, respiratory, and cardiac muscles. It is caused by the absence of functional dystrophin, a key structural protein in muscle cells. DMD affects approximately 15,000 individuals in the United States and primarily impacts boys. Over time, deterioration of the heart muscle leads to cardiomyopathy and heart failure, which is the leading cause of death in DMD. There is no cure, and treatment options remain limited. Deramiocel (CAP-1002) consists of allogeneic cardiosphere-derived cells (CDCs), a rare population of cardiac cells that have been shown in preclinical and clinical studies to exert potent immunomodulatory and anti-fibrotic actions in the preservation of cardiac and skeletal muscle function in muscular dystrophies such as DMD. CDCs act by secreting extracellular vesicles known as exosomes, which target macrophages and alter their expression profile to adopt a healing rather than pro-inflammatory phenotype. CDCs have been investigated in more than 250 peer-reviewed scientific publications and administered to over 250 human subjects across multiple clinical trials. Deramiocel has received Orphan Drug Designation for the treatment of DMD from both the U.S. FDA and the European Medicines Agency (EMA). In addition, it has been granted Regenerative Medicine Advanced Therapy (RMAT) designation in the U.S., Advanced Therapy Medicinal Product (ATMP) designation in Europe, and Rare Pediatric Disease Designation from the FDA, which may qualify Capricor for a Priority Review Voucher upon approval.

New major risk - Revenue size The company makes less than US$1m in revenue. This is considered a major risk. Companies with a small amount of revenue are most likely businesses that have not yet released a product to market or are simply a very small company without a wide reach. Either way, risk is elevated with these companies because there is a chance the product may not come to fruition or the company's addressable market or demand may not be as large as expected. In addition, if the company's size is the main factor, it is less likely to have many investors and analysts following it and scrutinizing its performance and outlook. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Revenue is less than US$1m. Minor Risks Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (11% average weekly change). Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (26% increase in shares outstanding). Price Target Changed • Mar 13

New minor risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 26% This is considered a minor risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings. This is currently the only risk that has been identified for the company. Annonce • Mar 13
Capricor Therapeutics Announces Late-Breaking HOPE-3 Data at the 2026 MDA Conference Demonstrating Significant Functional Benefits of Deramiocel for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy Capricor Therapeutics announced additional analyses and new functional outcomes data from the Phase 3 HOPE-3 clinical trial of Deramiocel in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), which were presented at the 2026 Muscular Dystrophy Association Clinical & Scientific Conference in Orlando, Florida. Cardiac MRI analyses demonstrated Deramiocel’s impact on cardiac structure in patients with DMD. Evaluation of late gadolinium enhancement (LGE), a marker of myocardial fibrosis, showed a significant reduction in fibrotic segments in patients treated with Deramiocel versus placebo, corresponding to a three-segment treatment difference at 12 months (p=0.022). The presence of LGE reflects replacement of viable myocardium with fibrotic tissue and is associated with progressive cardiac dysfunction and heart failure risk in DMD cardiomyopathy. In patients with baseline cardiomyopathy, Deramiocel demonstrated an even greater treatment effect on cardiac function. In this subgroup, treatment resulted in a 3.3 percentage-point improvement in LVEF versus placebo, corresponding to greater than 100% attenuation of expected cardiac decline (p=0.017). A Global Statistical Test (GST), a patient-level composite including Performance of Upper Limb (PUL v2.0), left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), and Patient Global Impression of Severity (PGI-S), demonstrated a statistically significant overall treatment benefit favoring Deramiocel (p=0.017). This composite integrates multiple clinically meaningful domains of disease, reflecting how patients feel and function. Additional functional outcomes evaluating hand-to-mouth activity, an important measure of patient independence, were also presented. Data from the Duchenne Video Assessment (DVA), a measure of activities of daily living in individuals with Duchenne, showed that the “eat 10 bites” task resulted in approximately 83% slowing of disease progression compared with placebo (p=0.018). These findings align with results from the mid-level (elbow) PUL v2.0 assessment (p=0.008), providing concordant evidence across both validated clinical and real-world functional measures. Deramiocel (CAP-1002) consists of allogeneic cardiosphere-derived cells (CDCs), a rare population of cardiac cells that have been shown in preclinical and clinical studies to exert potent immunomodulatory and anti-fibrotic actions in the preservation of cardiac and skeletal muscle function in muscular dystrophies such as DMD.

Capricor Therapeutics, Inc. Presents New Data Demonstrating a Scalable Framework for Loading Therapeutic Oligonucleotides into Exosomes Capricor Therapeutics, Inc. announced new data describing a scalable framework for loading therapeutic small interfering RNAs (siRNA) and phosphorodiamidate morpholino oligomers (PMO) into exosomes. The data were presented at the 2025 American Association for Extracellular Ventures (AAEV) Annual Meeting in Salt Lake City, Utah, held from November 20-23, 2025. The poster titled, "A Systematic Framework for the Scalable Loading of Therapeutic siRNA and PMO into Exosomes," highlighted proprietary data showcasing Capricor's exosome-based technology. The data provided an overview of both scale-up and scale-out electroporation strategies that can be integrated to achieve substantially larger yields of exogenously loaded engineered exosomes, which is a critical requirement for further clinical development. Key findings include: Engineered exosomes derived from 293F cells were successfully loaded with therapeutic siRNA and PMO cargo using optimized electroporation conditions. Both scale-up and scale- out strategies produced comparable loading efficiencies to standard small-volume electroporation. Integrating the two approaches enables manufacturing of significantly larger batches of therapeutic exosomes. At the forefront of innovation is the lead product candidate, Deramiocel, an allogeneic cardiac-derived cell therapy that is currently in late-stage clinical development for the treatment of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD).

Defendants provided these overwhelmingly positive statements to investors while, at the same time, disseminating false and misleading statements and/or concealing material adverse facts concerning its four-year safety and efficacy data from its Phase 2 HOPE-2 trial study of deramiocel. On July 11, 2025, Capricor issued a press release announcing it received a Complete Response Letter (CRL) from the FDA denying the BLA specifically citing it did not meet the statutory requirement for substantial evidence of effectiveness and the need for additional clinical data. Further, the CRL referenced outstanding items in the Chemistry, Manufacturing, and Controls section of the application. Major Estimate Revision • Jul 13

Capricor Therapeutics Provides Regulatory Update on Deramiocel BLA for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy Capricor Therapeutics announced that it has received a Complete Response Letter (CRL) from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regarding its Biologics License Application (BLA) for Deramiocel, the Company's lead cell therapy candidate for the treatment of cardiomyopathy associated with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). In the CRL, the FDA stated that it had completed its review of the application but is unable to approve the BLA in its current form, specifically citing that the BLA does not meet the statutory requirement for substantial evidence of effectiveness and the need for additional clinical data. The CRL also referenced certain outstanding items in the Chemistry, Manufacturing, and Controls (CMC) section of the application, most of which Capricor believes it has addressed in prior communications to the FDA. However, these materials were not reviewed by the FDA due to the timing of the CRL issuance. The FDA confirmed that it will restart the review clock upon resubmission. In addition, the agency offered the company the opportunity to request a Type A meeting to discuss the path forward. Capricor plans to engage further with the FDA to determine the appropriate next steps. Capricor's BLA for Deramiocel was granted Priority Review in March 2025 and was supported by data from the HOPE-2 trial, its open-label extension (OLE), and natural history comparisons from FDA-funded datasets.

Capricor Therapeutics Provides Regulatory Update on Deramiocel BLA for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy Capricor Therapeutics provided regulatory updates related to its Biologics License Application (BLA) for Deramiocel, the Company's lead cell therapy candidate for the treatment of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD)--associated cardiomyopathy. As part of the FDA's ongoing review, the Company has been informed that an Advisory Committee meeting is not indicated at this time. The BLA remains under Priority Review with a Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) target action date of August 31, 2025. Capricor recently presented four-year data from its HOPE-2 Open-Label Extension (OLE) study at the 2025 Parent Project Muscular Dystrophy (PPMD) Conference, representing one of the longest-running treatment datasets in DMD, including measures of both cardiac and skeletal muscle function. The data demonstrated continued preservation of cardiac function, along with sustained clinical benefit from long-term Deramiocel treatment. CDCs act by secreting extracellular vesicles known as exosomes, which target macrophages and alter their expression profile to adopt a healing, rather than a pro-inflammatory phenotype. CDCs have been investigated in more than 250 peer-reviewed scientific publications and administered to over 250 human subjects across multiple clinical trials. Deramiocel has received Orphan Drug Designation for the treatment of Duchenane Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) from both the U.S. FDA and the European Medicines Agency (EMA). In addition, it has been granted Regenerative Medicine Advanced Therapy (RMAT) designation in the U.S., Advanced Therapy Medicinal Product (ATMP) designation in Europe, and Rare Pediatric Disease Designation from the FDA, which may qualify Capricor for a Priority Review Voucher upon approval. For Becker Muscular Dystrophy (BMD), Deramiocel has also received Orphan Drug Designation from the FDA. Annonce • Jun 20

Capricor Therapeutics, Inc. Announces Positive Data Demonstrating Long-Term Efficacy of Deramiocel for the Treatment of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy Capricor Therapeutics, Inc. announced positive long-term data from its ongoing HOPE-2 open label extension (“OLE”) clinical trial, demonstrating the potential of the Company’s lead asset, deramiocel, to slow disease progression and preserve upper limb function in patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (“DMD”). The data is presented as a late breaking poster at this year’s Muscular Dystrophy Association Clinical and Scientific Conference, which began on March 16 and runs through March 19 in Dallas, Texas. In a cohort-matched external comparator analysis, the study showed that patients treated with deramiocel over three years experienced an average decline in Performance of the Upper Limb (PUL 2.0) total score of 3.46 points, compared to a 7.19-point decline in the external comparator group (p=0.019). This equates to a 52% slowing of disease progression, reinforcing deramiocel’s potential long-term therapeutic durability. Additional findings include: Treatment effect increases year over year – Patients on deramiocel showed a reduction in disease progression, with a mean annual PUL 2.0 decline of 1.8 points in Year 1, 1.2 points in Year 2 and 1.1 points in Year 3. Potential disease-modifying effects – During a 1-year gap of treatment, those originally randomized to deramiocel showed a slower rate of decline (2.8 points per year) compared to untreated patients (3.7 points per year). Favorable safety profile – Deramiocel was well tolerated with no new safety signals identified and continues to maintain a favorable long-term benefit-risk profile. Capricor recently announced the acceptance by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) of its Biologics License Application (“BLA”) for the cardiomyopathy associated with DMD with a Prescription Drug User Fee Act (“PDUFA”) target action date set for August 31, 2025, seeking full approval of its application.

New major risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 48% This is considered a major risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings.

Capricor Therapeutics Announces Positive Long-Term Data from Hope-2 OLE Study in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy at 2024 World Muscle Society Congress Capricor Therapeutics announced positive 3-year safety and efficacy results from its ongoing HOPE-2 open label extension (OLE) study for its lead asset, deramiocel, for the treatment of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). The data was highlighted in a late-breaking poster presentation at the 29th Annual Congress of the World Muscle Society (WMS), October 8-12, 2024 in Prague, Czechia. The 3-year data from the HOPE-2 OLE study demonstrated improvements in multiple cardiac measures of cardiac function, including left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF%), as well as indexed volumes, which are considered highly relevant in terms of predicting long-term cardiac outcomes. In addition, there was clear bifurcation in the treatment effect seen in those that had ejection fractions greater than 45% at the end of HOPE-2 which suggests that early and sustained intervention will be key in attenuating the impacts of DMD cardiomyopathy. In order to evaluate the relevance of the data to disease progression as well as the chronic and progressive nature of DMD where cardiac function can decline year over year, a natural history data set was used to compare the trajectory of those treated with deramiocel to standard of care. In addition to the cardiac data, patients demonstrated a statistically and clinically relevant benefit (+3.7 points, p< 0.001) in the PUL v2.0 total score when compared to an external comparator dataset of similar DMD patients. The HOPE-2 OLE study continues to show a favorable safety profile for long-term treatment of deramiocel. In conclusion, the results of this study showed sustained cardiac and skeletal benefits after 3 years of continuous treatment with deramiocel. This data was previously highlighted at the PPMD Annual Meeting in June 2024. Annonce • Oct 09
