Fulcrum Therapeutics Inc. (FULC) Tops Q2 EPS by 12c

Fulcrum Therapeutics Inc. (NASDAQ: FULC) reported Q2 EPS of ($0.66), $0.12 better than the analyst estimate of ($0.78).

“The team at Fulcrum not only delivered key progress across our pipeline this quarter, but also expanded our work into additional areas of critical unmet need,” said Robert J. Gould, Ph.D., president and chief executive officer. “We are encouraged by the data from the ReDUX4 interim analysis announced earlier today, suggesting that muscles with the highest DUX4-driven gene expression in pre-treatment biopsies show greater reduction in DUX4-driven gene expression following treatment with losmapimod compared to placebo. Progress continues with FTX-6058 where we have seen an increase in HbF levels up to approximately 30% of total hemoglobin in preclinical assessment. Additionally, our recent collaboration with MyoKardia has expanded our research efforts into genetic cardiomyopathies following our previously announced collaboration with Acceleron. And while our focus remains steadfast on improving the lives of patients with genetically defined rare diseases in areas of high unmet medical need, our scientific team saw a compelling rationale to use losmapimod for the treatment of hospitalized patients with COVID-19, and we recently initiated a Phase 3 international trial, with topline data expected in the first quarter of 2021. In the midst of all this activity, we further strengthened our cash position through a private placement to support our expanding pipeline.”
