Background of the investigation

On March 4, 2026, PepGen disclosed that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) had placed a partial clinical hold on the FREEDOM2-DM1 Phase 2 multiple ascending dose, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial of PGN-EDODM1. The Company stated that the clinical hold was imposed due to concerns related to previously submitted preclinical pharmacology and toxicology studies.

On March 30, 2026, PepGen reported additional clinical data from the FREEDOM2 program. The disclosures included reported efficacy results and updates in the context of the previously disclosed clinical hold. Following these disclosures, the price of PepGen’s stock declined sharply in after-hours trading, further damaging investors.

In light of this disclosure, Johnson Fistel is investigating whether PepGen complied with the federal securities laws. If you suffered losses from your investment in PepGen stock, contact Johnson Fistel.
