This 8-K formally discloses highly positive 52-week results from Biomea Fusion's Phase 2 COVALENT-112 trial for icovamenib in Type 1 Diabetes (T1D), following a news announcement on April 27, 2026. The data shows a significant 52% increase in C-peptide AUC at Week 12 in early-diagnosed patients, with durability maintained through Week 52.
