% of holdings sold = shares sold ÷ (shares sold + all holdings the insider reported on that Form 4, direct and through trusts).
Insider type follows Cohen, Malloy & Pomorski (Journal of Finance, 2012). An insider who traded the stock in the same calendar month in each of the past three years is a routine trader; one who traded in each of those years without such a pattern is an opportunistic trader. In their study, trades by opportunistic insiders predicted future returns and trades by routine insiders did not. Counts open-market purchases and sales only (SEC Form 4 codes P and S) by that insider in that company. Not investment advice.

From Capricor Therapeutics, Inc.'s Latest SEC 10-K Filing (filed 2026-03-17)
Key Strengths & Strategy (as disclosed to the SEC)
- Biologics License Application: In late 2024, we completed our submission of a BLA to the FDA seeking approval of Deramiocel for the treatment of Duchenne muscular dystrophy.
- Following a Type A meeting with the FDA in August 2025, we aligned with the Agency on a regulatory path forward to address the CRL, including the submission of additional clinical data from the Phase 3 HOPE-3 trial.
- Exosome Platform: Engineered Exosome-Based Vaccines: The StealthX™ vaccine is a proprietary vaccine developed internally by Capricor utilizing exosomes that were engineered to express either spike or nucleocapsid proteins on the surface.
- In mid-2025, the FDA completed its Pre-License Inspection ("PLI") of this facility in connection with our Biologics License Application for Deramiocel.
Partnerships
- On January 4, 2010, Capricor entered into an Exclusive License Agreement with CSMC (the "Original CSMC License Agreement"), for certain intellectual property related to its CDC technology.
- On May 5, 2014, Capricor entered into an Exclusive License Agreement with CSMC (the "Exosomes License Agreement"), for certain intellectual property rights related to CDC-derived exosomes technology.
Legal & Regulatory Risks (Item 1A, quoted)
- The biopharmaceutical industry is subject to extensive regulatory obligations and policies that may be subject to significant and abrupt change, including due to judicial challenges, election cycles, and resulting regulatory updates and changes in policy priorities.
- The outcome of preclinical testing and early clinical trials may not be predictive of the success of later clinical trials, interim results of a clinical trial do not necessarily predict final results, and the results of our clinical trials may not satisfy the requirements of the FDA or comparable foreign regulatory authorities.
- The regulatory pathway for COVID-19 or other infectious disease vaccines is continually evolving and may result in unexpected or unforeseen challenges.
- Any drugs we develop may become subject to unfavorable pricing regulations, third-party coverage, and reimbursement practices or healthcare reform initiatives, thereby harming our future business prospects.
