Biomea Fusion Reports First Quarter 2022 Financial Results and Business Highlights
REDWOOD CITY, Calif., May 16, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Biomea Fusion, Inc. (Nasdaq: BMEA), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company dedicated to discovering and developing novel covalent small molecules to treat and improve the lives of patients with genetically defined cancers and metabolic diseases, reported first quarter 2022 financial results and business highlights.
“We had a very exciting start to the year as we initiated our first Phase I study of BMF-219, COVALENT-101, in AML and ALL patients. We have now expanded enrollment to include also DLBCL and MM patients. Targeting menin with our covalent inhibitor is an innovative approach with potential safety, tolerability, efficacy, and durability advantages. Our COVALENT-101 investigators are enthusiastic to use BMF-219 for many of their patients who currently have relapsed from or not responded to traditional approaches,” said Thomas Butler, Biomea’s Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board.
Mr. Butler continued, “We believe covalent inhibitors afford the optimal profile for a therapeutic. The aim is to maximize depth and durability of response, to support improved survival, while minimizing exposure, which is the source for unwanted toxicity. We have now provided preclinical evidence highlighting BMF-219’s profound anti-tumor effects in MYC-driven cancers and pan-KRAS mutant solid tumors. By indirectly targeting MYC and KRAS via the scaffold protein menin, our preclinical data demonstrates that BMF-219 can affect these oncoproteins in a very meaningful way. We are managing our expenses and will continue to execute on the clinical development of this first-in-human and first-in-class covalent menin inhibitor not only in the various tumor types, but also in type 2 diabetic patients.”

About Biomea Fusion
Biomea Fusion is a biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery and development of covalent small molecules to treat patients with genetically defined cancers and metabolic diseases. A covalent small molecule is a synthetic compound that forms a permanent bond to its target protein and offers a number of potential advantages over conventional non-covalent drugs, including greater target selectivity, lower drug exposure, and the ability to drive a deeper, more durable response. The company is utilizing its proprietary FUSION™ System to advance a pipeline of covalent -binding therapeutic agents against key oncogenic drivers of cancer and metabolic diseases. Biomea Fusion’s goal is to utilize its capabilities and platform to become a leader in developing covalent small molecules in order to maximize the clinical benefit when treating various cancers and metabolic diseases.
