May 11, 2026 updated by: Biomea Fusion Inc.

Phase 2 Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-Controlled Trial Assessing the Efficacy and Safety of Icovamenib in Participants With Type 2 Diabetes Not Achieving Glycemic Targets Despite GLP-1-Based Therapy

This is a phase 2 randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial assessing the efficacy and safety of icovamenib in participants with Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) not achieving glycemic targets despite Ozempic-based therapy.

Detailed Description

This study is a 52-week, phase 2 trial designed to examine whether treatment with icovamenib in participants with T2D who are currently on an Ozempic-based therapy will result in a greater reduction in HbA1c than Ozempic-based therapy alone. The current trial investigates participants who have used Ozempic for at least 3 months prior to screening whose HbA1c remains above the target established by the ADA.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Arm A: icovamenib 100 mg

Starting on Day 1, participants will receive icovamenib 100 mg QD in addition to their currently prescribed Ozempic (semaglutide injection)-based regimen. Treatment will last for 12 weeks.

At Week 12, participants will continue on a stable dose of their baseline Ozempic-based regimen. The total duration of the trial is approximately 56 weeks (including screening and follow-up)

icovamenib 100 mg
Placebo Comparator: Arm B: matching placebo 100 mg

Starting on Day 1, participants will receive icovamenib 100 mg matching placebo QD in addition to their currently prescribed Ozempic (semaglutide injection)-based regimen. Treatment will last for 12 weeks.

At Week 12, participants will continue on a stable dose of their baseline Ozempic-based regimen. The total duration of the trial is approximately 56 weeks (including screening and follow-up).
