Fulcrum Therapeutics is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company dedicated to developing small molecules aimed at treating genetically defined rare diseases, particularly focusing on sickle cell disease (SCD) with its lead candidate, pociredir.
In its third-quarter earnings report for 2024, Fulcrum Therapeutics highlighted progress in the Phase 1b PIONEER trial of its lead drug, pociredir, targeting SCD, and reported a strong cash position with a runway extending into 2027. Despite setbacks with another drug candidate, the company remains committed to advancing treatments for high unmet medical needs.
Key financial metrics from the report include a cash position of $257.2 million as of the end of Q3 2024, a decrease in research and development expenses to $14.6 million, and a reduction in general and administrative expenses to $8.4 million. Additionally, Fulcrum reported a net loss of $21.7 million for the quarter, an improvement from the previous year’s loss. The company has redirected its focus towards pociredir and other promising therapeutic agents following the discontinuation of losmapimod development.
Looking forward, Fulcrum plans to continue patient enrollment for pociredir in the PIONEER trial and aims to release clinical data in 2025. The company anticipates ending 2024 with approximately $240 million in cash reserves, supporting its operations through at least 2027.
