Fulcrum Therapeutics (FULC) Stock Price, News & Analysis

Company Overview

Fulcrum Therapeutics, Inc. is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on discovering and developing precision medicines that modulate gene expression through epigenetic control. Leveraging a proprietary target discovery platform, Fulcrum seeks to identify small‐molecule therapeutics that restore normal gene function in diseases caused by genetic dysregulation. The company’s core research efforts center on transcriptional regulators and chromatin-modifying proteins, aiming to address underlying disease mechanisms rather than downstream symptoms.

Fulcrum’s most advanced programs include FTX-6058, an oral therapeutic candidate designed to elevate fetal hemoglobin levels in patients with sickle cell disease and beta-thalassemia, and a preclinical program targeting facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) by inhibiting a key epigenetic driver of aberrant gene expression. The company’s pipeline combines discovery-stage projects with clinical-stage assets, reflecting its commitment to translating foundational science into potential therapies for underserved genetic disorders.

Founded in 2015 and headquartered in Cambridge, Massachusetts, Fulcrum maintains research and development facilities in both Cambridge and the San Francisco Bay Area. The company is led by President and Chief Executive Officer Steven L. Holtzman, whose leadership team includes professionals with extensive experience in drug development, regulatory affairs and commercial strategy. Fulcrum collaborates with patient advocacy groups, academic institutions and contract research organizations to advance its programs and broaden access to promising new treatments.

Fulcrum Therapeutics serves a global patient population by pursuing therapies for rare and serious genetic diseases with significant unmet medical need. The company’s integrated approach—combining a deep understanding of epigenetic mechanisms with state-of-the-art drug discovery capabilities—positions it to address complex disorders for which conventional therapeutic strategies have been largely ineffective.
