Forward guidance

Fulcrum Therapeutics anticipates several milestones, including presenting data from the FTX-6058 trial, initiating the REACH trial, and nominating a new development candidate.

Tailwinds

  • Report initial data from the ongoing 6 mg dose cohort in the Phase 1b trial in people with sickle cell disease at the European Hematology Association (EHA) 2022 Hybrid Congress, taking place from June 9-12, 2022.
  • Open next dose cohort in Phase 1b trial in people with sickle cell disease in the second quarter of 2022.
  • Initiate registrational trial in sickle cell disease in early 2023.
  • Initiation of Phase 1b trial in select other hemoglobinopathies, including beta-thalassemia, now expected in the second half of 2022.
  • Initiate REACH, a Phase 3 randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled multi-national trial that will evaluate the efficacy and safety of losmapimod for Facioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophy (FSHD), in the second quarter of 2022.

Headwinds

  • Risks associated with Fulcrum’s ability to continue to advance its product candidates in clinical trials.
  • Risks related to initiating and enrolling clinical trials on the timeline expected or at all.
  • Risks related to obtaining and maintaining necessary approvals from the FDA and other regulatory authorities.
  • Risks related to replicating in clinical trials positive results found in preclinical studies and/or earlier-stage clinical trials of losmapimod, FTX-6058 and its other product candidates.
  • Risks related to managing expenses and raising the substantial additional capital needed to achieve its business objectives.
