Fulcrum Therapeutics to test losmapimod in COVID-19

Fulcrum Therapeutics (NASDAQ:FULC) has filed an IND with the FDA seeking sign-off for a late-stage clinical study evaluating lead drug losmapimod in hospitalized COVID-19 patients.
According to President & CEO Robert Gould, Ph.D., prior studies in other diseases showed the drug’s ability to reduce inflammatory proteins like IL-6 and C-reactive protein (CRP) that are associated with a poor prognosis.
On the working capital front, it has closed its $68.5M private placement of stock (~4M common shares at $17). Its current balance of quick assets should be sufficient to fund operations into Q1 2022.
Management hosted a conference call today at 8:30 am ET to discuss recent developments.
