On March 2, 2025, The Schall Law Firm announced that it had filed a class action lawsuit against Intellia Therapeutics, Inc. (Intellia or the Company) in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts. The lawsuit alleges that Intellia and certain of its executives violated the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder.
Background
Intellia Therapeutics is a leading genome editing company developing potential one-time, in vivo gene therapy using the CRISPR/Cas9 system. The Company’s mission is to transform the lives of millions of people with genetic diseases by delivering medicines that safely and effectively correct their genetic information.
The alleged securities laws violations stem from statements made by Intellia and its executives during the Class Period, which is between July 30, 2024, and January 8, 2025. The Company reportedly made false and misleading statements regarding the progress and prospects of its CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing platform, particularly with respect to its lead product, INT-200, for the treatment of transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR cm).

- The progress and prospects of the Company’s CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing platform and its lead product, INT-200
- The results of preclinical studies and clinical trials, including the safety and efficacy data for INT-200
- The regulatory approval process for INT-200
The lawsuit further alleges that Intellia failed to disclose material information regarding:
- The true progress of the preclinical studies and clinical trials for INT-200
- The potential risks and challenges associated with the development of INT-200
Impact on Intellia Therapeutics and Its Stakeholders
The class action lawsuit against Intellia Therapeutics could have significant implications for the Company and its stakeholders. If the allegations are proven, Intellia may be required to pay damages to the affected investors.
