WATERTOWN, Mass. -- (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – May 7, 2026 -- Foghorn® Therapeutics Inc. (Nasdaq: FHTX), a clinical-stage biotechnology company pioneering a new class of medicines that treat serious diseases by correcting abnormal gene expression, today provided a financial and corporate update in conjunction with the Company’s 10-Q filing for the quarter ended March 31, 2026. With an initial focus in oncology, Foghorn’s Gene Traffic Control® Platform and resulting broad pipeline have the potential to transform the lives of people suffering from a wide spectrum of diseases.

“Our lead program, FHD-909, continues to advance through dose escalation in collaboration with Lilly. The trial is enriching for NSCLC patients with SMARCA4 mutations, where outcomes remain especially poor and deteriorate with later lines of therapy,” said Adrian Gottschalk, President and Chief Executive Officer of Foghorn Therapeutics. “At this year’s American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting, we presented compelling preclinical data demonstrating the potential of FHD-909 in combination with an anti-PD-1 antibody to drive complete, durable tumor regression and anti-tumor immune memory.”

Mr. Gottschalk continued, “Across our wholly owned pipeline, we reported new preclinical data highlighting strong anti-tumor activity and tolerability for our Selective CBP degrader FHT-171 in heavily pretreated ER+ breast cancer models, improved safety and efficacy versus clinical benchmark for our Selective EP300 degrader in multiple myeloma, and robust target degradation with potential for oral bioavailability for our cereblon-based selective ARID1B degraders. Together, these programs expand our reach in difficult-to-treat cancers, and we look forward to sharing further progress throughout the year.”

Program Overview and Upcoming Milestones

FHD-909 (LY4050784). FHD-909 is a first-in-class oral SMARCA2 selective inhibitor that has demonstrated in preclinical studies to have high selectivity over its closely related paralog SMARCA4, two proteins that are the catalytic engines across all forms of the BAF complex. Selectively blocking SMARCA2 activity is a promising synthetic lethal strategy intended to induce tumor death while sparing healthy cells. SMARCA4 is mutated in up to 10% of NSCLC patients and implicated in a significant number of solid tumors. Across lines of therapy, significant unmet needs remain for patients with SMARCA4 (BRG1)-mutant cancers with both poor response rates and short progression-free survival.

•Phase 1 trial on track. Enrollment in the first-in-human Phase 1 multi-center trial of FHD-909 is progressing well. The trial in patients with NSCLC as the primary target population is on track, following the dosing of the first patient in October 2024.

•Robust and durable preclinical data for FHD-909 plus anti-PD-1 antibody. New preclinical data presented at AACR demonstrated complete regression in preclinical syngeneic efficacy models of FHD-909 in combination with an anti-PD-1 antibody, with tumors failing to regrow after dosing halted. An immune memory effect was supported by tumor rejection upon rechallenge in animals treated with FHD-909 plus an anti-PD-1 antibody.

•Pending the decision to move into dose expansion portion of trial, Foghorn and Lilly anticipate evaluating FHD-909 in combination studies in the front-line setting of NSCLC.

Ongoing strategic collaboration with Lilly. Foghorn is collaborating with Lilly to develop novel oncology medicines, including a 50/50 U.S. co-development and co-commercialization agreement for its selective SMARCA2 oncology program that includes both a selective inhibitor and a selective degrader, as well as an additional undisclosed oncology target. The collaboration also includes three discovery programs from Foghorn’s proprietary Gene Traffic Control® platform.

Selective CBP degrader program. Foghorn's Selective CBP degrader targets CBP, an acetyltransferase closely related to EP300. CBP lineage dependencies are established in several cancers, including breast cancer. Attempts to selectively drug CBP have been challenging due to the high level of similarity between the two proteins, while dual inhibition of CBP/EP300 has been associated
