Biomea Fusion (BMEA) announced significant findings from two oral presentations at the EASD Annual Meeting, showcasing its drug BMF-219. The preclinical studies reveal that BMF-219, a covalent menin inhibitor, achieves a 50% reduction in blood glucose levels and a notable 3.5% reduction in HbA1C, surpassing existing treatments like liraglutide. This novel treatment maintains glycemic control even after treatment cessation. The company plans to initiate a Phase I/II clinical trial in the second half of 2022, pending IND submission and clearance.
Biomea Fusion announced the first patient dosing in its Phase I clinical trial, COVALENT-101, evaluating BMF-219, a covalent menin inhibitor, for relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (MM). This marks BMF-219 as the first menin inhibitor targeting MM. The trial has expanded to include cohorts for both MM and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), while patient enrollment continues for acute leukemia cohorts. Approximately 35,000 new MM cases are diagnosed annually in the U.S., with a notably low 5-year survival rate of ~56% for affected patients.
Biomea Fusion has reported promising preclinical results for BMF-219, a covalent menin inhibitor, showcasing its potential in treating type 2 diabetes. In studies involving ZDF and STZ rat models, BMF-219 demonstrated significant improvements in glycemic control and reduced HbA1c levels, outperforming standard treatments like pioglitazone and liraglutide.
The company plans to initiate a Phase I/II clinical trial in the second half of 2022, contingent on IND submission and clearance, aiming to explore BMF-219's long-term efficacy in diabetes management.
