Fulcrum Therapeutics, Inc. guided investors toward a Phase III future for pociredir while a $25.1 million facility lease locked the company into infrastructure now stranded by program termination.
NEW YORK, June 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Fulcrum Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: FULC) shareholders saw a roughly 50% single-session collapse after the company disclosed on June 1, 2026 that FDA safety concerns forced immediate discontinuation of pociredir and triggered a strategic review. Shareholders who lost money on FULC are encouraged to submit their information now. You may also contact Joseph E. Levi, Esq. at jlevi@levikorsinsky.com or (212) 363-7500.
During the Q1 2026 earnings call on April 27, 2026, CEO Alex Sapir stated the company believed it had "about a 24-month head start over the next closest competitor" and would be "well underway, we believe, with our Phase III study." The company's 10-K filed February 24, 2026 disclosed a lease with a total commitment of approximately $25.1 million over its 10-year term covering 28,731 square feet of office and laboratory space. The Company's CAMP4 license agreement provided for up to $70 million in milestone payments plus royalties, while the upfront payment amount remained undisclosed.
Approximately five weeks after the Q1 2026 earnings call, Fulcrum discontinued the pociredir program following FDA feedback indicating no regulatory path forward and initiated strategic review. The company's existing ~$25.1 million long-term lease obligation and the CAMP4 licensing agreement—providing up to $70 million in milestones plus royalties with an undisclosed upfront payment—remained in place. Following the discontinuation, Fulcrum entered strategic review without a lead clinical candidate. Levi & Korsinsky is investigating whether these forward commitments and omissions may constitute potential securities law violations.
