A law firm is investigating securities-law violations after Madrigal disclosed on November 3, 2026 that a former SVP filed a whistleblower complaint on October 9, 2026 alleging suppression of adverse liver-injury data and unreproducible efficacy results for Rezdiffra, the company's only approved drug. The stock already fell over 8% on the disclosure, and a formal class-action investigation adds continuing legal and reputational pressure.
