Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Nature of the Business and Basis of Presentation | 1. Nature of the Business and Basis of Presentation Fulcrum Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company” or “Fulcrum”) was incorporated in Delaware on August 18, 2015. The Company is focused on improving the lives of patients with genetically-defined rare diseases in areas of high unmet medical need. The Company is subject to a number of risks similar to other companies in the biotechnology industry, including, but not limited to, risks of failure of preclinical studies and clinical trials, dependence on key personnel, protection of proprietary technology, reliance on third party organizations, risks of obtaining regulatory approval for any product candidate that it may develop, development by competitors of technological innovations, compliance with government regulations, and the need to obtain additional financing. Product candidates currently under development will require significant additional research and development efforts, including extensive preclinical and clinical testing, and regulatory approval, prior to commercialization. These efforts require significant amounts of additional capital, adequate personnel infrastructure and extensive compliance-reporting capabilities. Even if the Company’s development efforts are successful, it is uncertain when, if ever, the Company will realize significant revenue from product sales. Basis of Presentation The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Any reference in these notes to applicable guidance is meant to refer to the authoritative GAAP as found in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). The accompanying consolidated financial statements and footnotes to the financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the most recently audited annual consolidated financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all normal recurring adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position as of March 31, 2023 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022. The results for the three months ended March 31, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023, any other interim periods, or any future year or period. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2022 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 9, 2023 (the “Annual Report on Form 10-K”). Sales of Common Stock In January 2023, the Company completed a public offering of its common stock and issued and sold 9,615,384 shares of common stock at a public offering price of $ 13.00 per share, resulting in net proceeds of $ 117.3 million after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses. Liquidity The Company has incurred recurring losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception and has primarily funded its operations with proceeds from the sale of shares of its capital stock and from upfront payments received from the collaboration and license agreements with Acceleron Pharma Inc. (“Acceleron”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Merck & Co., Inc. (“Merck”), and MyoKardia, Inc. (“MyoKardia”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Bristol Myers Squibb Company. As of March 31, 2023, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $ 437.1 million. The Company expects its operating losses and negative operating cash flows to continue into the foreseeable future as it continues to expand its research and development efforts. The Company expects to finance its future cash needs through a combination of equity offerings, debt financings, collaborations, strategic alliances and marketing, distribution or licensing arrangements. The Company expects that its cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities will be sufficient to fund its operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements for at least 12 months from the date of issuance of these financial statements. However, the Company has based this estimate on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and its operating plan may change as a result of many factors currently unknown to it. As a result, the Company could deplete its capital resources sooner than it currently expects. If the Company is unable to raise additional funds through equity or debt financings when needed, it may be required to delay, limit, reduce or terminate development or future commercialization efforts or grant rights to develop and market product candidates that it would otherwise prefer to develop and market itself. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Principles of Consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Fulcrum Therapeutics Securities Corp., which is a Massachusetts subsidiary created to buy, sell, and hold securities. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies The significant accounting policies and estimates used in the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements are described in the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. There have been no material changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies during the three months ended March 31, 2023. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, and the reported amount of expenses during the reported periods. Estimates inherent in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, estimates related to revenue recognition, accrued expenses, stock-based compensation expense, and income taxes. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and other market specific or other relevant assumptions it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates as there are changes in circumstances, facts and experience. Actual results could differ from those estimates or assumptions. Off-Balance Sheet Risk and Concentrations of Credit Risk The Company has no significant off-balance sheet risk such as foreign exchange contracts, option contracts, or other foreign hedging arrangements. Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities, and restricted cash. The Company’s cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash are deposited in accounts at large financial institutions. The Company believes it is not exposed to significant credit risk due to the financial strength of the depository institutions in which the cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash are held. The Company maintains its cash equivalents in money market funds that invest in U.S. Treasury securities, U.S. Treasury securities, and commercial paper . The Company’s marketable securities consist of U.S. Treasury securities, corporate bonds, and commercial paper, and potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk. The Company has adopted an investment policy that limits the amounts the Company may invest in any one type of investment. The Company has not experienced any credit losses and does not believe it is exposed to any significant credit risk on these funds. Recent Accounting Pronouncements—Adopted In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments . The standard requires that credit losses be reported using an expected losses model rather than the incurred losses model that is currently used, and establishes additional disclosures related to credit risks. For available-for-sale debt securities with unrealized losses, this standard requires allowances to be recorded instead of reducing the amortized cost of the investment. The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2023. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position and results of operations. In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes-Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes . The standard eliminates certain exceptions related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period, and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. The new guidance also simplifies aspects of the accounting for franchise taxes and enacted changes in tax laws or rates and clarifies the accounting for transactions that result in a step-up in the tax basis of goodwill. The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2023. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position and results of operations. |

Collaboration and License Agreements | 10. Collaboration and License Agreements Acceleron Collaboration Agreement On December 20, 2019, the Company entered into the Acceleron Collaboration Agreement to identify biological targets to modulate specific pathways associated with a targeted indication within the pulmonary disease space (the “Indication”). Under the terms of the Acceleron Collaboration Agreement, the Company granted Acceleron an exclusive worldwide license under certain intellectual property rights to make, have made, use, sell, have sold, import, export, distribute and have distributed, market, have marketed, promote, have promoted, or otherwise exploit molecules and products directed against or expressing certain biological targets identified by the Company for the treatment, prophylaxis, or diagnosis of the Indication. On June 3, 2022, Acceleron notified the Company of its termination of the Acceleron Collaboration Agreement for convenience, which became effective 120 days after the Company's receipt of the notice, or October 1, 2022. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company recognized no collaboration revenue associated with the Acceleron Collaboration Agreement. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company recognize d $ 0.9 million o f collaboration revenue under the Acceleron Collaboration Agreement, which includes $ 0.5 million of revenue recognized that was included in deferred revenue as of December 31, 2021 . As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 , the Company recorded no deferred revenue, unbilled accounts receivable, or accounts receivable associated with the Acceleron Collaboration Agreement. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 , the Company had received $ 4.9 million of cost reimbursement payment under the Acceleron Collaboration Agreement and $ 2.0 million associated with the achievement of specified research milestones. MyoKardia Collaboration Agreement On July 20, 2020, the Company entered into the MyoKardia Collaboration Agreement, as amended, pursuant to which the Company granted to MyoKardia an exclusive worldwide license under certain intellectual property rights to research, develop, make, have made, use, have used, sell, have sold, offer for sale, have offered for sale, import, have imported, export, have exported, distribute, have distributed, market, have marketed, promote, have promoted, or otherwise exploit products directed against certain biological targets identified by the Company that are capable of modulating up to a certain number of genes of interest with relevance to certain genetically defined cardiomyopathies. Pursuant to a mutually agreed research plan, the Company will perform assay screening and related research activities to identify and validate up to a specified number of potential cardiomyopathy gene targets (“Identified Targets”) for further research, development, manufacture and commercialization by MyoKardia. The Company and MyoKardia will work together to determine how best to advance at each stage of the research activities under the research plan and to identify which of the Identified Targets, if any, meet the criteria set forth in the research plan (the “Cardiomyopathy Target Candidates”). Upon completion of the research plan, the parties will work together to prepare a final data package and MyoKardia may designate certain Cardiomyopathy Target Candidates for MyoKardia’s further exploitation under the MyoKardia Collaboration Agreement (the “Cardiomyopathy Targets”). If MyoKardia does not designate any Cardiomyopathy Targets during the designated period, then the MyoKardia Collaboration Agreement will automatically terminate. If MyoKardia designates one or more Cardiomyopathy Targets, then MyoKardia will be obligated to use commercially reasonable efforts to seek regulatory approval for and to commercialize one product directed against an Identified Target in certain specified countries. During the period in which the Company is performing the research activities pursuant to the research plan (the “Research Term”) and for a specified period beyond the Research Term if MyoKardia designates a Cardiomyopathy Target, the Company may only use the data generated from such research activities for MyoKardia in accordance with the MyoKardia Collaboration Agreement. During the Research Term and for a specified period thereafter, the Company may not research, develop, manufacture, commercialize, use, or otherwise exploit any compound or product (a) that is a Compound or Product under the MyoKardia Collaboration Agreement that is directed against the Cardiomyopathy Target Candidates for the treatment, prophylaxis, or diagnosis of any indication or (b) for the treatment of any genetically defined cardiomyopathies shown to be related to certain specified genes of interest that are modulated by the Cardiomyopathy Targets. Under the MyoKardia Collaboration Agreement, MyoKardia made a $ 10.0 million upfront payment and a $ 2.5 million payment as prepaid research funding to the Company in July 2020. MyoKardia will also reimburse the Company for the costs of the research activities not covered by the prepaid research funding, up to a maximum amount of total research funding (including the prepaid research funding). Upon the achievement of specified preclinical, development and sales milestones, the Company will be entitled to preclinical milestone payments, development milestone payments and sales milestone payments of up to $ 298.5 million in the aggregate per target for certain Identified Targets, and of up to $ 150.0 million in the aggregate per target for certain other Identified Targets. To date, the Company has achieved a $ 2.5 million specified preclinical milestone. MyoKardia will also pay the Company tiered royalties ranging from a mid single-digit percentage to a low double-digit percentage based on MyoKardia’s, and any of its affiliates’ and sublicensees’, annual worldwide net sales of products under the MyoKardia Collaboration Agreement directed against any Identified Target. The royalties are payable on a product-by-product basis during a specified royalty term, and may be reduced in specified circumstances. The MyoKardia Collaboration Agreement continues on a country-by-country and product-by-product basis until the last to expire royalty term for a product, at which time the MyoKardia Collaboration Agreement expires with respect to such product in such country. Either party has the right to terminate the MyoKardia Collaboration Agreement if the other party has materially breached in the performance of its obligations under the MyoKardia Collaboration Agreement and such breach has not been cured within the applicable cure period. MyoKardia also has the right to terminate the MyoKardia Collaboration Agreement for convenience in its entirety or on a target-by-target, product-by-product or molecule-by-molecule basis. On April 20, 2023, the Company entered into an amendment to the MyoKardia Collaboration Agreement, pursuant to which the Company and MyoKardia agreed to modify the research plan to increase the scope of activities to be performed by the Company and to increase the maximum amount of total research funding. The Company is currently evaluating the accounting treatment for the amendment to the MyoKardia Collaboration Agreement. Accounting Analysis Identification of the Contract The Company assessed the MyoKardia Collaboration Agreement and concluded that it represents a contract with a customer within the scope of ASC 606. Identification of the Promises and Performance Obligations The Company determined that the MyoKardia Collaboration Agreement contains the following promises: (i) an exclusive worldwide license under certain intellectual property rights, including rights to a specified number of potential cardiomyopathy gene targets identified by the Company for further research, development, manufacture and commercialization for the treatment, prophylaxis, or diagnosis of certain genetically defined cardiomyopathies that was conveyed at the inception of the arrangement (the “MyoKardia License”), (ii) research services to identify and validate potential biological targets (the “MyoKardia Research Services”), and (iii) participation in the joint steering committee (the “MyoKardia JSC”). The Company assessed the above promises and concluded that the MyoKardia License is not capable of being distinct from the MyoKardia Research Services given that the MyoKardia License has limited value without the performance of the MyoKardia Research Services and the MyoKardia Research Services can only be performed by the Company due to their specialized nature. Therefore, the Company has concluded that the MyoKardia License and the MyoKardia Research Services represent a single combined performance obligation. The Company also assessed the participation on the MyoKardia JSC and concluded that the promise is quantitatively and qualitatively immaterial in the context of the MyoKardia Collaboration Agreement. Accordingly, the Company has disregarded its participation on the MyoKardia JSC as a performance obligation. Determination of the Transaction Price The Company received a non-refundable upfront payment of $ 10.0 million, which the Company included in the transaction price. In December 2021, the Company achieved a $ 2.5 million specified preclinical milestone associated with the MyoKardia Collaboration Agreement, which was previously constrained due to the significant uncertainty regarding whether such preclinical milestone would be achieved. The Company included this amount in the transaction price as of December 31, 2021. Based on the continued uncertainty associated with the achievement of any of the remaining preclinical and development milestone payments that the Company is eligible to receive, the Company has constrained the variable consideration associated with those milestone payments and excluded them from the transaction price. As part of its evaluation of constraining the preclinical and development milestones, the Company considered numerous factors, including the fact that the achievement of the preclinical and development milestones are contingent upon the results of the underlying preclinical and development activities and are thus outside of the control of the Company. The Company also included in the transaction price the expected amount of costs to be reimbursed for the MyoKardia Research Services, which includes the $ 2.5 million prepaid research funding payment that the Company received in the third quarter of 2020. The Company reassesses the transaction price at the end of each reporting period and as uncertain events are resolved or other changes in circumstances occur, and, if necessary, adjusts its estimate of the transaction price. There was no change in the amount of variable consideration constrained during the three months ended March 31, 2023. Any consideration related to sales milestone payments (including royalties) will be recognized when the related sales occur as these amounts have been determined to relate predominantly to the license granted to MyoKardia and therefore are recognized at the later of when the related sales occur or the performance obligation is satisfied. Allocation of the Transaction Price to Performance Obligations As noted above, the Company has identified a single performance obligation associated with the MyoKardia Collaboration Agreement. Therefore, the Company will allocate the entire amount of the transaction price to the identified single performance obligation. Recognition of Revenue The Company recognizes revenue related to the MyoKardia Collaboration Agreement over time as the MyoKardia Research Services are rendered. The Company has concluded that an input method is a representative depiction of the transfer of services under the MyoKardia Collaboration Agreement. The method of measuring progress towards the delivery of the services incorporates actual cumulative internal and external costs incurred relative to total internal and external costs expected to be incurred to satisfy the performance obligation. The period over which total costs are estimated reflects the Company’s estimate of the period over which it will perform the MyoKardia Research Services. Changes in estimates of total internal and external costs expected to be incurred are recognized in the period of change as a cumulative catch-up adjustment. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company recognized $ 0.3 million of collaboration revenue associated with the MyoKardia Collaboration Agreement, which includes $ 0.2 million of revenue recognized that was included in deferred revenue as of December 31, 2022. During the three months ended March 31, 2022 , the Company recognized $ 1.7 million of collaboration revenue associated with the MyoKardia Collaboration Agreement, which includes $ 1.3 million of revenue recognized that was in deferred revenue as of December 31, 2021. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 , the Company recorded deferred revenue of $ 0.7 million and $ 0.9 million, respectively, associated with the MyoKardia Collaboration Agreement, which is classified as either current or net of current portion in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets based on the period over which the revenue is expected to be recognized. The aggregate deferred revenue balance represents the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to the performance obligations that are unsatisfied as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. As of March 31, 2023 , the Company had received $ 5.8 million of cost reimbursement payments under the MyoKardia Collaboration Agreement and $ 2.5 million associated with the achievement of a preclinical milestone. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had received $ 5.6 million of cost reimbursement payments under the MyoKardia Collaboration Agreement and $ 2.5 million associated with the achievement of a preclinical milestone. As of March 31, 2023 , the Company recorded unbilled accounts receivable of $ 0.1 million related to reimbursable research and development costs under the MyoKardia Collaboration Agreement for activities performed during the three months ended March 31, 2023. As of December 31, 2022 , the Company recorded unbilled accounts receivable of $ 0.2 million related to reimbursable research and development costs under the MyoKardia Collaboration Agreement for activities performed during the three months ended December 31, 2021. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 , the Company recorded no accounts receivable under the MyoKardia Collaboration Agreement. |

The Company recognizes clinical and regulatory milestone payments when the underlying contingency is resolved and the consideration is paid or becomes payable. The milestone payments are capitalized or expensed depending on the nature of the associated asset as of the date of recognition. The Company will record sales milestone payments and royalties as additional expense of the related product sales in the period in which the corresponding sales occur. |

The Company’s marketable securities consist of U.S. Treasury securities, corporate bonds, and commercial paper, and potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk. The Company has adopted an investment policy that limits the amounts the Company may invest in any one type of investment. The Company has not experienced any credit losses and does not believe it is exposed to any significant credit risk on these funds. |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | Recent Accounting Pronouncements—Adopted In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments . The standard requires that credit losses be reported using an expected losses model rather than the incurred losses model that is currently used, and establishes additional disclosures related to credit risks. For available-for-sale debt securities with unrealized losses, this standard requires allowances to be recorded instead of reducing the amortized cost of the investment. The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2023. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position and results of operations. In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes-Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes . The standard eliminates certain exceptions related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period, and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. The new guidance also simplifies aspects of the accounting for franchise taxes and enacted changes in tax laws or rates and clarifies the accounting for transactions that result in a step-up in the tax basis of goodwill. The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2023. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position and results of operations. |
