Phase 2 Trial of BMF-219 in Participants With Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus

Study COVALENT-112 is a 52-week, Phase 2 trial designed to examine beta-cell function, insulin sensitivity, and both glucose and lipid metabolism in participants with T1D treated with BMF-219. BMF-219 is an orally bioavailable, covalent small-molecule menin inhibitor.

Inclusion criteria

• Males or females, age ≥18 and ≤70 years.
• Diagnosed with stage 3 T1D within the following timeframes:

• Part 1 Cohort 1: Participants diagnosed within 3 years prior to screening.
• Part 1 Cohort 2: Participants diagnosed between 3 to 15 years prior to screening
• Part 2 : Participants diagnosed within 15 years prior to screening.
• Treated with insulin only for at least 2 months prior to screening and proficient in the following in the opinion of the investigator:

• Counting carbohydrates
• Adjusting meal and correction boluses based on glucose readings with a stable insulin/carbohydrate ratio as well as correction factors
• Adjusting insulin and dietary therapy during special situations (eg, exercise, stress, intermittent diseases)
• HbA1c ≥6.5 and ≤10.0% at screening.
• Fasting or stimulated C-peptide Concentration at Screening as follows:

• C-peptide concentration ≥0.2 nmol/L if diagnosed within 3 years prior to screening.
• C-peptide concentration ≥0.08 nmol/L if diagnosed between 3 and 15 years prior to screening.
• Documented history of at least 1 T1D1-related autoantibody.
• If treated with lipid-lowering therapy, the dose must be stable for at least 30 days prior to screening.
• Men and women of childbearing potential must use adequate birth control measures for the duration of the trial and at least 90 days after discontinuing study treatment.
• Women who are not pregnant or lactating.

• Known self or family history (first-degree relative) of multiple endocrine neoplasia Type 1.
• Use of diabetes medications except insulin within 2 months prior to screening.
• Any significant cardiovascular disease or QTcF prolongation within the last 6 months prior to screening.
• Participants with fasting triglyceride ≥500 mg/dL.
• Have an eGFR <60 mL/min/1.73 m2 by the CKDEPI Creatinine Equation at screening.
• Impaired liver function, defined as screening AST or ALT >1.5 × ULN, Total bilirubin >1.5 × ULN with the exception of Gilbert's Syndrome.

• Active (symptomatic) celiac disease.
• History of stomach or intestinal surgery that would potentially alter absorption and/or excretion of orally administered drugs.
• History of cirrhosis.
• Currently participating in a formal weight loss program and/or are currently using any drugs for weight management within 2 months of screening.
• Use of Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) is prohibited.
• Treatment with a moderate or strong CYP3A4 inhibitor, inducer, or substrate within a week prior to dosing on Day 1.
