Capricor Therapeutics (CAPR) Stock Price, News & Analysis

Company Overview

Capricor Therapeutics, Inc. is a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on the development of cell and exosome-based therapeutics for cardiovascular and rare diseases. Headquartered in Beverly Hills, California, the company leverages proprietary cardiosphere-derived cell (CDC) technology to address conditions characterized by inflammation, fibrosis, and tissue degeneration. Since its founding, Capricor has advanced its lead candidate through multiple clinical trials and has built a pipeline that spans both cell therapy and extracellular vesicle (exosome) platforms.

The company’s leading product candidate, CAP-1002, comprises allogeneic CDCs and is being evaluated in indications such as Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) and COVID-19-related heart injury. Capricor has completed a Phase II trial in DMD that demonstrated potential functional benefits in ambulatory and non-ambulatory patients, and it has initiated follow-on studies to further characterize safety and efficacy. In addition, Capricor’s CAP-2003 program harnesses exosomes derived from CDCs to deliver bioactive molecules that may promote tissue repair, representing a next-generation approach to regenerative medicine.

Capricor serves patients throughout the United States and collaborates with academic and clinical research institutions to accelerate the translation of its therapies. The company’s research and development efforts are supported by strategic partnerships that provide access to specialized manufacturing, preclinical models, and clinical trial networks. Capricor’s leadership team is led by President and CEO Linda L. Marbán, PhD, who co-founded the company and has overseen its growth from an early-stage venture to a publicly traded biotech enterprise.
