First Patient dosed in Ph I/Ib Clinical Trial (COVALENT-102) of BMF-219 in KRAS Mutant Solid Tumors
“We are eager to explore the potential of BMF-219 as a pan-KRAS inhibitor in patients with three of the most prominent KRAS-mutant solid tumor types, including those with tumors that have failed to respond to investigational and approved mutation-specific KRAS inhibitors,” said Steve Morris, M.D., Biomea’s Chief Medical Officer. “As a covalent menin inhibitor, we believe BMF-219 has critical advantages over late stage, mutation-specific inhibitors of KRAS including independence on the KRAS activation state, reduced likelihood for acquisition of resistance mutations, and its potential to address multiple activating KRAS mutations.”
