WATERTOWN, Mass., Nov. 05, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — CAMP4 Therapeutics Corporation (“CAMP4” or “the Company”) (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 third quarter ended September 30, 2026, and provided recent corporate highlights.

“The third quarter was one of continued execution for CAMP4. With regulatory clearances now in place in Australia, Argentina, the United Kingdom, and the European Union, we have launched our first-in-human ASCEND Phase 1/2 clinical trial of CMP-002 in patients with SYNGAP1-related disorder,” 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:

• Expanded regulatory approvals for global ASCEND Phase 1/2 clinical trial. Received authorization from the United Kingdom’s Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) in September 2026 and received authorization from multiple EU regulators and ethics committees in October 2026 to include UK and EU sites in the global ASCEND Phase 1/2 clinical trial of CMP-002, building on clearances received in July 2026 from Australia’s Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) and a local Human Research Ethics Committee (HREC), and from Argentina’s National Administration of Drugs, Food and Medical Technology (ANMAT).
• Initiated clinical trial activities across multiple sites. The Company has initiated the ASCEND Phase 1/2 clinical trial of CMP-002 and remains on track to dose the first patient by year-end 2026.
• Hosted Virtual Analyst Day on CMP-002. On September 28, 2026, CAMP4 hosted a Virtual Analyst Day featuring key opinion leader Stéphane Auvin, MD, Ph.D., of Robert Debré University Hospital and Université Paris Cité, as well as patient advocates and members of the CAMP4 leadership team. The program reviewed the unmet need in SYNGAP1-related disorder and the design of the ASCEND clinical trial of CMP-002. The Company also provided an update on its early discovery pipeline, including plans to advance a program targeting SHANK3 regulatory RNA for the potential treatment of Phelan-McDermid syndrome, with a development candidate expected in 2027.
• Completed second closing of private placement. In August 2026, CAMP4 received $50.1 million in gross proceeds from the fully subscribed second closing of its private placement initially announced in September 2025. The second closing was triggered by the regulatory clearance of the CMP-002 clinical trial application in Australia.

Third Quarter 2026 Financial Results

Cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2026 were $124.5 million, compared to $109.5 million as of December 31, 2025. Cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2026 reflect the receipt in August 2026 of $50.1 million in gross proceeds from the second closing of the Company’s private placement initially announced in September 2025. 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 September 30, 2026 were $11.4 million, compared to $9.9 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2025. The increase was primarily driven by clinical and preclinical study costs, including activities to support initiation of the Phase 1/2 ASCEND clinical trial of CMP-002.

G&A Expenses: General and administrative expenses were $4.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2026, compared to $4.6 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2025. The decrease was primarily driven by a decrease in professional fees and overhead, partially offset by an increase in stock-based compensation expense.

Net Loss: Net loss for the quarter ended September 30, 2026 was $29.0 million, compared to $15.1 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2025. The increase in net loss was primarily driven by a $14.0 million increase in 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.
