Biomea Fusion, Inc.

- Placebo-adjusted 1.0% HbA1c reduction in patients uncontrolled on GLP-1 therapies, consistent with preclinical synergy with semaglutide.
- 100% of severely insulin-deficient patients on 100 mg icovamenib responded with durable HbA1c decline; no drug-related adverse events.
- Company plans to end oncology studies, seek partnerships, and focus on two late-stage trials: Phase 2/3 in insulin-deficient T2D and Phase 2b combo with GLP-1.
