We are creating an entirely new Generation of Precision Medicine against Genetically Defined Diseases.
About us
We are a biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery and development of oral covalent small molecules to treat patients with metabolic diseases and genetically defined cancers. 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. We are utilizing our proprietary FUSION™ System to discover, design and develop a pipeline of next-generation covalent-binding small molecule medicines designed to maximize clinical benefit for patients. Our lead product candidate, BMF-219, is an orally bioavailable, potent and selective covalent inhibitor of menin, an important transcriptional regulator known to play a direct role in in regulating the growth of beta cells in the pancreas as well as oncogenic signaling in multiple cancers. Beyond BMF-219, we are utilizing our novel platform to develop treatments against other high-value metabolic diseases and oncogenic drivers of cancer. We entered the clinic with our second development candidate, BMF-500, a covalent inhibitor of FLT3 and are studying BMF-500 in acute leukemia patients. We also announced our third development candidate, an oral, small molecule GLP-1 receptor agonist in obesity. All our molecules, BMF-219, BMF-500, and our GLP-1 receptor agonist were developed in-house by the Biomea team. We aim to have an outsized impact on the treatment of disease for the patients we serve. We aim to cure. The name biomea derives from the Greek word bios, meaning “life,” and the Latin word mea, meaning “my.” At Biomea Fusion, we develop medicines to improve the life of the individual.

Dear Friends, I am truly pleased to announce that we will be presenting new data from our Phase 2 Study in Type 2 Diabetes next month at ATTD in Amsterdam (The Amstel Dam 😊). This data just became available within the last week. We are developing a first-in-class menin inhibitor, icovamenib, which leverages the body’s own mechanism to rebuild the pool of beta cells (which produce insulin) for adults suffering from diabetes. In the study, patients received icovamenib, an oral dose, once daily, for 12 weeks and are then followed until Week 52. The key endpoint of the study is the reduction in HbA1c (a measure of blood glucose) from baseline at Week 26. In December of last year, we showed for the first time (in history!) that short term treatment can lead to long term improvement in glycemic control. We demonstrated that you could come off a treatment for type 2 diabetes, and observe a continuous improvement in HbA1c over time, as much as 100% improvement after 14 weeks of no treatment. We believe that icovamenib improved the body’s ability to create more insulin on its own. Our goal with icovamenib has always been to fundamentally impact the disease, to restore our patient’s ability to produce insulin, with just a short treatment period. In short, we aim to restore our patient’s natural ability to produce insulin again without the need of chronic therapy. We now know that after 12 weeks of icovamenib treatment, the most insulin deficient patients uncontrolled on standard of care demonstrated the greatest reduction in HbA1c. Importantly, these insulin deficient adults with type 2 diabetes represent one of the most significant unmet medical needs of all adults with type 2 diabetes today. More than 100 million adults with type 2 diabetes worldwide fall into this category. At ATTD, we will show how much c-peptide (a measure of insulin) our patients are now producing on their own. Please join us for this presentation on the web or live.

According to UNESCO Institute for Statistics data, less than 30% of the world’s researchers are women. At Biomea, we believe that having women in science is essential for driving innovation, bringing diverse perspectives, and achieving breakthroughs that benefit everyone. We’re proud to support and celebrate the brilliant women pushing science forward. 👩🔬 Meet some of the incredible women in our chemistry lab, working hands-on at the bench to advance our mission: creating therapies that cure patients of their disease. #WomenInScience #InternationalDayOfWomenAndGirlsInScience #WomenInSTEM #BiomeaFusion #TeamFusion #WeAimToCure
