- A 52% increase from baseline in mean C-peptide AUC at Week 12 in patients diagnosed within 0–3 years (n=5) receiving icovamenib 200 mg, with a clear dose response observed vs 100 mg (n=6)
- Persistence observed through Week 52, with mean C-peptide AUC largely preserved in 200 mg group (~7% decline from baseline) following only 12 weeks of dosing
- Preservation of C-peptide also observed in patients diagnosed between 3-15 years (n=9)
- Icovamenib was generally well tolerated across all dosing arms and demonstrated a favorable safety and tolerability profile through Week 52
- Comprehensive dataset to be presented at the American Diabetes Association's (ADA) Scientific Sessions (abstract is preliminary until time of presentation; full release on June 5th at 6:30 pm CST)
- Company to host a conference call to discuss results on Tuesday, April 28 at 8:30 am ET
SAN CARLOS, Calif., April 27, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Biomea Fusion, Inc. ("Biomea" or "Biomea Fusion" or "the Company") (NASDAQ:BMEA), a clinical-stage diabetes and obesity company, today announced positive 52-week results from its Phase 2 COVALENT-112 trial evaluating the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of icovamenib in patients with type 1 diabetes ("T1D"). These data are based on a proof-of-concept study enrolling small subsets of Stage 3 T1D patients dosed with icovamenib at 100 mg and 200 mg in two cohorts (patients diagnosed within 3 years and those diagnosed within 3-15 years).
"The results we presented today mark an encouraging step forward for Biomea. The magnitude and durability observed are not typically seen in type 1 diabetes, which makes these findings particularly compelling. These data further validate targeting menin as a potential approach across both type 1 and type 2 diabetes," said Mick Hitchcock, Ph.D., Interim CEO and Board Member of Biomea Fusion. "We look forward to presenting additional data at an upcoming scientific meeting and advancing our type 1 diabetes program in collaboration with leading clinical centers in the United States"
The COVALENT-112 trial demonstrated encouraging results in patients with T1D. In patients diagnosed within 0-3 years, treatment with icovamenib 200 mg once daily for 12 weeks resulted in a 52% increase in mean C-peptide area under the curve (AUC) at Week 12 (p < 0.001; n=5), representing a magnitude of improvement that is not commonly reported in published studies of T1D. Importantly, the effect was durable following only 12 weeks of dosing, mean C-peptide AUC was largely preserved through Week 52, representing approximately a 7% decline from baseline. A dose response was observed, with the 200 mg dose demonstrating greater activity compared to 100 mg. Published natural history data suggest that patients with Stage 3 T1D typically experience substantial declines in C-peptide over time, underscoring the significance of preserved C-peptide following only a 12-week dosing period.
