•Translational data presented at ADA demonstrate icovamenib’s potential to promote muscle preservation and fat reduction, supporting its broader therapeutic utility in obesity and diabetes, including as a complementary therapy alongside GLP-1 receptor agonists to enhance metabolic health outcomes 
• Clinical data presented at ADA from COVALENT-112 show improvements in HbA1c and C-peptide in type 1 diabetes patients treated with icovamenib, with no evidence of immune activation, and inflammatory markers stable or reduced
• Additionally, the Company expanded its Phase I BMF-650 study to evaluate a rapid one-step titration and enhanced weight loss potential with its oral GLP-1 receptor agonist
