CAMBRIDGE, Mass., May 07, 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 first quarter ended March 31, 2026, and provided recent corporate highlights.
"We have made significant progress year-to-date against our goal of bringing a potential first-in-class treatment for SYNGAP1-related disorder into the clinic,” said Josh Mandel-Brehm, President and Chief Executive Officer of CAMP4. “We submitted our first regulatory filing for CMP-002 in Australia which positions us to initiate a global first-in-human Phase 1/2 clinical trial in the second half of 2026. Additional filings with global regulatory agencies are planned throughout 2026. We are also excited to support the ProMMiS study through CURE SYNGAP1 and invest in the foundational science that will further validate our understanding of the natural history of SYNGAP1 and advance meaningful, potentially disease-modifying medicines for all patients affected by this disease.”
Recent Corporate Highlights:
- Submitted a regulatory filing for CMP-002 in Australia, which is expected to enable the launch of a global Phase 1/2 clinical trial in 2H 2026. Filings with additional global regulatory agencies are planned for 2026.
- Received Orphan Designation for CMP-002 by the European Medicines Agency (EMA). The company has filed an Orphan Drug Designation submission with the FDA in the U.S.
- Entered into a collaboration with CURE SYNGAP1 to support ProMMiS, a prospective, multi-site, non-interventional natural history study of SYNGAP1-related disorder designed to deepen the understanding of disease progression and inform therapeutic development.
- Submitted preprint of pioneering study to bioRxiv describing CAMP4’s development of regRNA Capture-seq methodology to assemble what it believes to be the largest catalog of regRNAs generated to date.
- Appointed Michael MacLean to the company’s Board of Directors.
Upcoming Investor Conference

First Quarter 2026 Financial Results
Cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2026 were $99.2 million, compared to $109.5 million as of December 31, 2025. The Company believes that its current cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to fund its planned activities into 2028.
R&D Expenses: Research and development expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 were $10.2 million, compared to $10.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2025. The expenses were primarily driven by clinical and preclinical study costs.
G&A Expenses: General and administrative expenses were $4.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, compared to $3.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2025. The expenses were primarily driven by an increase in stock-based compensation expense and professional and consulting fees, partially offset by reduced facilities costs.
Net Loss: Net loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 was $18.3 million, compared to $12.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2025. The increase in net loss was primarily driven by a $6.2 million non-cash loss recognized due to a change in fair value of the derivative tranche liability related to our September 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.
