Fulcrum Therapeutics Inc. reported positive 12-week results from the 20 mg dose cohort (n=12) of its Phase 1b PIONEER open-label dose-escalation trial evaluating pociredir, an oral once-daily fetal hemoglobin (HbF) inducer, in adults with severe sickle cell disease. Mean absolute HbF increased from 7.1% at baseline to 19.3% at Week 12, with 7 of 12 patients reaching HbF levels of at least 20%; mean hemoglobin increased from 7.3 g/dL to 8.4 g/dL, and 7 of 12 patients reported zero vaso-occlusive crises during the treatment period. The company said additional data from the 20 mg cohort, including results through the 4-week follow-up period, will be presented at a future medical conference, and it plans to initiate a potential registration-enabling trial in the second half of 2026, pending regulatory feedback.
