**Signal Note: RTW Investments Initiates $7.2M Position in Capricor (CAPR)** RTW's $7.2M entry into CAPR suggests conviction in the company's lead program, CAP-1002 (allogeneic cardiosphere-derived cells) for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), which completed Phase 2b dosing in 2023 with interim data expected near-term. The timing aligns with potential catalysts from ongoing DMD studies and the company's pivot toward heart failure indications, where cell therapy demand remains clinically underexplored.
