Fulcrum expects that its cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities as of December 31, 2020, together with the net proceeds of $46.4 million from the sale of its common stock in a public offering on January 22, 2021, will be sufficient to enable Fulcrum to fund operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements into the fourth quarter of 2022.
Positive Outlook
- On track to report data from ReDUX4, a Phase 2b trial of losmapimod, a selective p38a/b mitogen activated protein kinase (MAPK) inhibitor, in FSHD late in the second quarter of 2021.
- Data will include the primary endpoint, reduction from baseline of DUX4-driven gene expression, as well as a pre-specified sensitivity analysis assessing biopsies with the highest pre-treatment level of DUX4-driven gene expression.
- Secondary endpoints, including skeletal muscle MRI and exploratory endpoints, including clinical outcome assessments and patient reported outcomes will also be reported.
- On track to report results from the Phase 1 trial in healthy adult volunteers with FTX-6058 in development for sickle cell disease (SCD) in mid-2021, and to begin dosing patients with SCD by year end.
- Losmapimod was generally well tolerated in LOSVID, and an independent data safety monitoring board did not identify any safety concerns related to losmapimod.
