What is this all about?

Block & Leviton is investigating whether Candel Therapeutics may have misled investors about the readiness of its application for FDA approval of aglatimagene, its lead prostate cancer drug. In the months before the news, the company reportedly said that manufacturing process validation was "progressing well" and that the inputs for its Biologics License Application remained "on track" for submission in the fourth quarter of 2026, while it was also selling stock to the public. On November 12, 2026, alongside its third-quarter results, Candel disclosed that it now plans to submit the application in mid-2027, citing "timelines associated with assay refinement" and ongoing discussions with the FDA. That same evening, the company entered into a new $50 million stock sale agreement, and its shares fell as much as about 39% in after-hours trading. The investigation focuses on what the company knew about the assay issue, and when, compared with what it was telling investors.

Who is eligible?
