Secured regulatory clearance in two jurisdictions to initiate first-in-human Phase 1/2 clinical trial of CMP-002 in patients with SYNGAP-1 related disorder; trial initiation anticipated in the fourth quarter of this year.

Received $50.1 million from fully subscribed second closing of private placement initially announced September 2025. Cash runway extended through the end of 2028.

WATERTOWN, Mass., Aug. 13, 2026 (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 second quarter ended June 30, 2026, and provided recent corporate highlights.

"Having secured regulatory clearance in both Australia and Argentina, we are now focused on initiating our first-in-human Phase 1/2 clinical trial of CMP-002 in patients with SYNGAP1 and are continuing to activate our planned clinical trial in additional jurisdictions," said Josh Mandel-Brehm, President and Chief Executive Officer of CAMP4. "There are no approved disease-modifying treatments for SYNGAP1, and we are committed to rapidly advancing the development of CMP-002 globally in the hopes of offering SYNGAP1 patients and families a potentially transformative solution that could one day dramatically improve their lives."

Recent Corporate Highlights:

Received clearance from Australia’s Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) and local Human Research Ethics Committee (HREC), as well as Argentina’s Administración Nacional de Medicamentos, Alimentos y Tecnología Médica (ANMAT), supporting initiation of a Phase 1/2 clinical trial of CMP-002. Clinical trial launch is expected in Q4 2026.
Submitted regulatory filings in the European Union and United Kingdom to support broader enrollment across multiple sites.
Secured $50.1 million in gross proceeds in the second closing of the Company’s private placement, pursuant to which the Company previously received approximately $50 million in gross proceeds in September 2025. Cash runway extended though end of 2028.
Relocated corporate headquarters to Watertown, Mass.

Second Quarter 2026 Financial Results

Cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2026, were $86.4 million, compared to $109.5 million as of December 31, 2025. Subsequent to quarter-end, the Company closed the second tranche of its private placement announced September 2025, raising an additional $50.1 million in gross proceeds. The Company believes that its current cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to fund its planned activities through the end of 2028.

R&D Expenses: Research and development expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, were $10.8 million, compared to $10.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2025. The expenses were primarily driven by clinical and preclinical study costs.

G&A Expenses: General and administrative expenses were $4.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, compared to $4.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2025. The increase was primarily driven by an increase in stock-based compensation expense, partially offset by reduced facilities costs.

Net Loss: Net loss for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, was $33.5 million, compared to $12.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2025. The increase was primarily driven by a $20.9 million non-cash loss recognized due to a change in fair value of the derivative tranche liability related to the Company’s September 2025 private placement.

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.
