Shares of Fulcrum Therapeutics soared after the company released positive initial results from a trial of its pociredir drug to treat sickle-cell disease.
The stock rose 47% to $13.06 in premarket trading. Shares were up 89% this year as of Friday.
The clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company late Saturday said initial results from the 20-milligram dose cohort of the trial showed robust and clinically meaningful increases in fetal hemoglobin.
Fulcrum, based in Cambridge, Mass., also said the drug continued showing a favorable safety profile with no treatment-related severe adverse events reported.
