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.
