Friday, the FDA lifted the clinical hold on Biomea Fusion, Inc.’s ongoing Phase 1/2 clinical trials of the company’s investigational covalent menin inhibitor BMF-219 in type 2 and type 1 diabetes (COVALENT-111 and COVALENT-112), respectively.

“The in-depth review of the clinical data to date reconfirms our confidence in BMF-219 as a novel, first-in-class agent for the treatment of diabetes,” stated Thomas Butler, Biomea Fusion’s CEO and Chairman.

“We are encouraged from the safety review of the ongoing Phase 2b Expansion Study, where the concerning safety signals seen in the Phase 2a Escalation Study did not translate over to the larger Expansion Study. And most importantly, none of the elevated lab values translated to confirmed serious liver injury or liver impairment,” Butler said.

In June, the FDA placed a clinical hold on Biomea Fusion’s Phase 1/2 trials for BMF-219.

The FDA’s decision was driven by concerns over potential drug-induced hepatotoxicity observed during the Dose Escalation Phase of the trials. Elevated liver enzyme levels were noted, although most adverse events were mild to moderate, with no severe reactions reported.

During its second-quarter earnings release, the company said data readout from COVALENT-111 Phase 2b and COVALENT-112 Phase 2a trials were on track for the fourth quarter of 2024.
