Forma Therapeutics Announces Presentations at Upcoming Hematology Conferences

Updated results from the completed Phase 1 study of etavopivat in patients with sickle cell disease (SCD)

Study design for the Phase 2 Gladiolus Study of etavopivat in patients with transfusion-dependent (TD) SCD or non-TD/TD thalassemia

Forma Therapeutics Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: FMTX), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on sickle cell disease, prostate cancer and other rare hematologic diseases and cancers, today announced its participation in the European Hematology Association (EHA) 2022 Hybrid Congress, taking place June 9-17, the Foundation for Sickle Cell Disease Research (FSCDR) Sickle Cell Disease Research and Educational Symposium and Sickle Cell Disease Scientific Meeting, held June 10-12, and the Global Congress on Sickle Cell Disease (GCSCD), held June 16-18.

Forma’s accepted presentations cover updated results from the open-label extension cohort of the completed Phase 1 study of etavopivat, including an analysis of the frequency and severity of pain-related adverse events, as well as the study design and key enrollment criteria of the Phase 2 Gladiolus Study of etavopivat in TD SCD, non-TD thalassemia and TD thalassemia.

“We believe that data from our Phase 1 study support a highly differentiated etavopivat profile that can potentially improve the lives of patients with SCD by increasing hemoglobin levels, improving red blood cell health, and decreasing vaso-occlusive crises,” said Patrick Kelly, M.D., chief medical officer. “We are pleased to have additional opportunities to share our findings and look forward to attending the upcoming meetings.”

Details of the Forma-led abstracts are below. The EHA abstracts are also currently available online.
