IMPORTANT SHAREHOLDER ALERT: Wolf Haldenstein Adler Freeman & Herz LLP Announces That a Federal Securities Class Action Lawsuit Has Been Filed Against Celladon Corporation in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California -- CLDN

Lead Plaintiff Deadline is August 31, 2015


NEW YORK and SAN DIEGO, July 13, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Wolf Haldenstein Adler Freeman & Herz LLP announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California on behalf of a class of investors who purchased publicly traded securities of Celladon Corporation (“Celladon” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq:CLDN) between July 7, 2014 and June 25, 2015, inclusive. Wolf Haldenstein encourages all shareholders who suffered losses on securities purchased within the Class Period to contact us immediately at classmember@whafh.com or (800) 575-0735.

Celladon is a clinical-stage biotechnology company which is focused on the development of cardiovascular gene therapy and calcium dysregulation. The Company’s lead candidate is MYDICAR to treat inadequate pumping in heart failure patients. The investigation concerns whether the Company potentially misled investors regarding the design of its MYDICAR clinical trials; and otherwise misled investors regarding the successful FDA approval of MYDICAR.

On April 26, 2015, Celladon issued a press release announcing that the Company’s Phase 2b CUPID2 trial of MYDICAR did not meet its primary and secondary goals. As a result of this news, the price of Celladon stock plummeted $11.04 per share to close at $2.64 per share on April 27, 2015, a decline of 80% on volume of 32 million shares.

On June 26, 2015, before the market opened, Celladon issued a press release announcing the suspension of its plans for further research or development of its MYDICAR program and other pre-clinical programs, and indicating the possibility that the Company could be liquidated with net cash available to shareholders of $25-$30 million. As a result of this news, the price of Celladon stock dropped $0.85 per share to close at $1.35 per share on June 26, 2015, a decline of 38% on volume of 9 million shares.

If you purchased Celladon Corporation securities during the Class Period, you may, no later than August 31, 2015, request that the Court appoint you lead plaintiff of the proposed class.  A lead plaintiff is a representative party that acts on behalf of all class members in directing the litigation.  Any member of the purported class may move the Court to serve as lead plaintiff through counsel of their choice, or may choose to do nothing and remain an absent class member.
