An announcement from Fulcrum Therapeutics ( (FULC) ) is now available.

On January 12, 2026, Fulcrum Therapeutics updated its corporate presentation ahead of investor meetings and a scheduled appearance at the 44th Annual J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference, detailing new business and strategic updates centered on its lead candidate pociredir for sickle cell disease and the financial resources backing its pipeline. The company highlighted initial data from the 20 mg cohort of its Phase 1b PIONEER trial as of November 11, 2025, showing robust, rapid, and pan-cellular increases in fetal hemoglobin with early signs of improvements in anemia, hemolysis and reductions in vaso-occlusive crises, while maintaining generally favorable tolerability at once-daily dosing; these results, combined with the continued high unmet need in sickle cell disease despite recent approvals and withdrawals in the space, position pociredir as a potential best-in-class, convenient oral therapy that could fill a significant treatment gap as Fulcrum targets an End-of-Phase meeting with regulators in the first half of 2026 and prepares its next study for initiation in the second half of 2026.

The most recent analyst rating on (FULC) stock is a Buy with a $20.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Fulcrum Therapeutics stock, see the FULC Stock Forecast page.
