Biomea Fusion Announces Late-Breaker Oral Presentation Showing New Analysis From The Escalation Portion Of COVALENT-111 Presented At The 1st Annual Asian Conference On Innovative Therapies For Diabetes Management; Icovamenib Achieves A Mean Reduction In HbA1c Greater Than 1% At Week 26 Following 4 Weeks Of Dosing In Type 2 Diabetes Patients Characterized By Insulin Deficiency
Icovamenib Achieves a Mean Reduction in HbA1c Greater than 1% at Week 26 Following 4 Weeks of Dosing in Type 2 Diabetes Patients Characterized by Insulin Deficiency
- 32 patients from the 100mg and 200mg cohorts, doses selected for the expansion phase, were characterized based on baseline biomarkers and analyzed for efficacy. Patients identified as insulin deficient (approx. 50% of the broader patient population) and insulin resistant were compared to examine the mean reduction in HbA1c at Week 26, following 4 weeks of dosing.
- 83% of patients with insulin deficiency responded to icovamenib, and showed a greater mean HbA1c reduction at Week 26 compared to baseline, than those that were found to be more insulin resistant (-1.23% vs -0.48%, placebo-adjusted, 22 weeks after last dose of icovamenib).
- These two patient groups are pre-specified in the upcoming read out of the Phase IIb expansion portion of COVALENT-111 in December, reporting over 200 persons with type 2 diabetes (T2D) with 8 and 12 weeks of icovamenib treatment.
