Biomea Fusion, Inc., a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing novel covalent small molecules for diabetes, obesity, and genetically defined cancers, reported significant financial challenges in its latest 10-Q filing for the quarter ending September 30, 2024. The company has not generated any revenue since its inception and continues to incur substantial operating losses.
As of September 30, 2024, Biomea reported cash and cash equivalents of $87.9 million, a notable decrease from $176.9 million at the end of 2023. Total current assets also fell to $93.6 million from $179.2 million, while total assets decreased to $110.4 million from $199.9 million. The company's total stockholders' equity dropped to $76.0 million from $169.2 million, reflecting ongoing financial strain.
For the third quarter of 2024, Biomea's total operating expenses increased to $34.0 million, up from $31.1 million in the same period of 2023. Research and development expenses rose to $27.2 million from $25.3 million year-over-year, contributing to a loss from operations of $34.0 million, compared to a loss of $31.1 million in Q3 2023. The net loss for Q3 2024 was $32.8 million, compared to $28.4 million in Q3 2023. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the net loss was $109.1 million, up from $82.4 million for the same period in 2023.
The company’s financial performance has been heavily influenced by its research and development activities, which are expected to increase significantly as it advances its product candidates, particularly icovamenib and BMF-500. The FDA had previously placed a clinical hold on the trials for icovamenib, which was lifted in September 2024, allowing the company to resume its clinical activities.
In terms of funding, Biomea raised $161.8 million in net proceeds from a public offering in April 2023, but has not generated any revenue from product sales. The company anticipates needing additional capital to continue operations, with substantial doubt about its ability to sustain itself without further financing. As of September 30, 2024, the company had an accumulated deficit of $357.9 million.
The company’s operational challenges include reliance on third-party vendors for clinical trials and manufacturing, which could impact timelines and regulatory approvals. Biomea's future growth and financial stability will depend on its ability to manage these challenges effectively while advancing its product candidates through clinical development.
