Aardvark Therapeutics halted its Phase 3 HERO trial for ARD-101, a drug for Prader-Willi Syndrome, due to serious cardiac safety risks. This announcement caused the company's shares to drop 56%, triggering an investigation by Hagens Berman into possible investor misinformation. The firm is examining whether Aardvark misled investors about the drug's safety, efficacy, and FDA communications. Investors with losses or relevant information are encouraged to come forward as the company delays trial data release beyond Q3 2026.
