March 27, 2025 16:05 ET  | Source: CAMP4 Therapeutics – Phase 1 clinical trial of CMP-CPS-001 in Urea Cycle Disorders (UCDs) ongoing, with dosing completed in two of four multiple ascending dose (MAD) cohorts; safety, pharmacokinetic, and pharmacodynamic data anticipated in Q4 2025 – Initiation of expansion into Phase 1b clinical trial in female OTC heterozygotes expected in Q2 2025 – Nomination of development candidate CMP-SYNGAP-01 to address SYNGAP1-related disorders; GLP toxicology studies expected to be initiated in 2025 CAMBRIDGE, Mass., March 27, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CAMP4 Therapeutics Corporation (“CAMP4”) (Nasdaq: CAMP), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing a pipeline of regulatory RNA-targeting therapeutics designed to upregulate gene expression with the goal of restoring healthy protein levels to treat a broad range of genetic diseases, today announced financial results for the full year ended December 31, 2024, and provided a corporate update. “We are off to a strong start in 2025, building on the momentum of a successful 2024, which included advancing our Phase 1 clinical program in UCDs, establishing key research collaborations, securing important regulatory designations, and completing our initial public offering,” said Josh Mandel-Brehm, Chief Executive Officer of CAMP4. “We remain focused on the ongoing healthy volunteer Phase 1 clinical trial of CMP-CPS-001 in UCDs, as well as our planned expansion into a Phase 1b clinical trial in Australia in female OTC heterozygotes - a potential additional addressable patient population of UCDs that has previously been underserved. In addition, we intend to submit a Clinical Trial Application (CTA) in Europe and to open an additional clinical trial site, pending regulatory clearance. This expansion reflects both the growing body of evidence supporting our approach and our commitment to addressing critical gaps in genetic disease care.” Mr. Mandel-Brehm continued, “We are also pleased to announce the selection of a development candidate, CMP-SYNGAP-01, for our SYNGAP1-related disorders program based on compelling data across our preclinical studies, including recent non-human primate studies. The discovery and selection of a novel regRNA-targeting antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) that increases SYNGAP1 protein levels underscores the transformative potential of our platform to identify and advance this novel class of therapeutic candidates for SYNGAP1-related disorders, a group of neurodevelopmental conditions with no approved therapies that we believe impacts approximately 10,000 individuals in the U.S.” Ornithine transcarbamylase (OTC) deficiency is a rare genetic disorder that leads to the buildup of ammonia in the blood, which can cause brain damage, coma, or death if left untreated. It is estimated to affect approximately 1 in 56,500 births in the United States and is the only genetic subtype of Urea Cycle Disorders that is X-linked. While males with OTC deficiency almost always experience symptoms, the severity and presence of symptoms in female heterozygotes can vary. CAMP4 estimates that over 1,200 heterozygous female carriers of a mutation in the OTC gene in the United States experience potentially treatable UCD symptoms. “OTC deficiency has long been seen as a disorder that primarily affects males, with females assumed to be less affected by the disease, and hence this important potential patient population has been overlooked and underserved. Recent research shows that many of these women face chronic, underrecognized symptoms and serious health risks, including the danger of hyperammonemic crises triggered by stress, illness, pregnancy or surgery,” said Dr. Yuri Maricich, Chief Medical Officer of CAMP4. “CAMP4’s Phase1b clinical trial represents a crucial step forward in redefining care for female OTC heterozygotes - moving from passive observation to proactive monitoring and treatment. We are excited to expand our study of CMP-CPS-001, which appeared to be well-tolerated in a Single-Ascending Dose (SAD) study in normal healthy volunteers, as a potential therapy to help manage ammonia levels and improve patient outcomes.” Recent Corporate Highlights: Completed planned interim analysis of all four SAD cohorts of the Phase 1 clinical trial of CMP-CPS-001 in 48 healthy volunteer participants. Safety results were favorable and consistent with the safety profile of approved liver-targeted ASOs, with all treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs) being Grade 1 (mild) or Grade 2 (moderate). The two most common TEAEs across all cohorts were headache (six participants) and nausea (four participants). No safety trends of concern were observed, and CMP-CPS-001 appeared to be well-tolerated.Completed dosing in the first two MAD cohorts and dosing has been initiated in MAD Cohort 3.Nominated a development candidate, CMP-SYNGAP-01, for the treatment of SYNGAP-1 related disorders based on preclinical data, including recent results from non-human primate studies.Initiated a discovery program for the treatment of GBA1-related Parkinson’s Disease. Using CAMP4’s RAP Platform™, ASOs have been identified that enhance the expression of GBA1 in vitro. Preclinical studies are ongoing to enable the company to select a development candidate.Appointed Doug E. Williams, Ph.D., and Murray Stewart, DM FRCP, to the Board of Directors, bringing decades of experience in pharmaceutical development and extensive expertise in genetic medicine. Expected Milestones in 2025 Initiation of expansion into Phase 1b clinical trial of CMP-CPS-001 in female OTC heterozygotes in Australia expected in Q2 2025, with Europe to follow pending CTA clearance.Data from the SAD and MAD portions of the trial evaluating CMP-CPS-001 in 96 healthy volunteer participants, including safety, pharmacokinetic, and pharmacodynamic biomarker data, are expected in Q4 2025.GLP toxicity studies of CMP-SYNGAP-01 for the treatment of neurodevelopmental disorders caused by SYNGAP1 mutations to be initiated this year.Advance a new discovery program targeting a GBA1 regRNA to increase gene expression for the treatment of Parkinson’s disease (PD) caused by mutations in GBA1, with potential for application in sporadic PD.Company continues to focus on expanding its strategic partnerships to continue maximizing the value of its RAP Platform. Full Year 2024 Financial Results R&D Expenses: Research and development expenses for the year ended December 31, 2024 were $38.8 million, compared to $40.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. The decrease was primarily due to decreases in clinical and preclinical expenses and personnel-related expenses. G&A Expenses: General and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2024, were $14.9 million, as compared to $11.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. The increase was primarily due to an increase in personnel-related expenses. Net Loss: The net loss was $51.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to $49.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. Cash Position: As of December 31, 2024, cash and cash equivalents totaled approximately $64.0 million. The Company believes that its current cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to fund its planned activities into Q2 2026. About CAMP4 Therapeutics CAMP4 is developing disease-modifying treatments for a broad range of genetic diseases where amplifying healthy protein may offer therapeutic benefits. Our approach amplifies mRNA by harnessing a fundamental mechanism of how genes are controlled. To amplify mRNA, our therapeutic ASO drug candidates target regulatory RNAs (regRNAs), which act locally on transcription factors and are the master regulators of gene expression. CAMP4’s proprietary RAP Platform™ enables the mapping of regRNAs and generation of therapeutic candidates designed to target the regRNAs associated with genes underlying haploinsufficient and recessive partial loss-of-function disorders, of which there are more than 1,200, in which a modest increase in protein expression may have the potential to be clinically meaningful.
