About Obesity
Obesity is a chronic disease necessitating long-term management, associated with diminished life expectancy and a spectrum of severe health complications. These include metabolic disorders such as type 2 diabetes and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease; cardiovascular diseases like heart attack, stroke, and hypertension; and increased risks of chronic kidney disease, certain cancers, and chronic inflammation. The CDC estimates that over 40% of adults in the U.S. are considered obese, contributing to a significant burden on public health and healthcare systems. The direct medical care costs of obesity are estimated to total $289 billion per year in the U.S. Globally, over 650 million adults are living with obesity, and these numbers are steadily rising.

About GLP-1 Receptor Agonists
Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) is a naturally occurring incretin hormone that plays a vital role in glucose homeostasis and appetite regulation. GLP-1 receptor agonists are a class of medications that bind to and activate GLP-1 receptors, mimicking the effects of native GLP-1. These agents have demonstrated robust clinical efficacy in improving glycemic control, promoting weight loss, and enhancing insulin sensitivity in individuals with type 2 diabetes and obesity.

About Biomea Fusion
Biomea Fusion is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery and development of oral covalent small molecules to improve the lives of patients with diabetes, obesity, and genetically defined cancers. A covalent small molecule is a synthetic compound that forms a permanent bond to its target protein and offers a number of potential advantages over conventional non-covalent drugs, including greater target selectivity, lower drug exposure, and the ability to drive a deeper, more durable response.

We are utilizing our proprietary FUSION™ System to discover, design, and develop a pipeline of next-generation covalent-binding small-molecule medicines designed to maximize clinical benefit for patients. We aim to have an outsized impact on the treatment of disease for the patients we serve. We aim to cure.
