Sagimet's Partner Achieves Positive Results With Oral Acne Drug In Phase 3 Trial In China, Stock Jumps

Sagimet Biosciences Inc. (NASDAQ:SGMT) said on Wednesday that denifanstat met all primary and secondary endpoints in a Phase 3 trial for moderate to severe acne vulgaris. The trial was conducted by Sagimet's license partner, Ascletis Bioscience Co. Ltd., in China. Denifanstat is a once-daily oral small-molecule fatty acid synthase (FASN) inhibitor being developed by Ascletis as ASC40 for acne in China and by Sagimet for metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) in the rest of the Sagimet recently initiated a Phase 1 first-in-human trial with a second FASN inhibitor, TVB-3567, that is planned to be developed for acne in the U.S. The trial randomized 480 patients in China to receive either denifanstat once daily or a placebo for 12 weeks. For the primary endpoint of treatment success, defined as an Investigator's Global Assessment score of 0 (clear) or 1 (almost clear) with at least a 2-point decrease from baseline at week 12, the denifanstat group demonstrated a statistically significant 33.2% rate over the placebo group's 14.6%. Additional goals further corroborated denifanstat's efficacy versus placebo, including: Reduction in total lesion count (57.4% vs 35.4%). Reduction in inflammatory lesion count (63.5% vs 43.2%). Reduction in non-inflammatory lesion count (51.9% vs. 28.9%). Ascletis reported that denifanstat was generally well-tolerated. Following 12 weeks of once-daily oral administration at 50 mg, treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAE) incidence rates were comparable between denifanstat and placebo. All denifanstat-related adverse events (AEs) were mild or moderate. There were no denifanstat-related grade 3 or 4 AEs and no denifanstat-related serious AEs. No deaths were reported. These Phase 3 results confirm that FASN inhibition represents a potential therapeutic approach within acne. Ascletis has indicated that it plans to submit denifanstat for approval to the China National Medical Products Administration. Building on Ascletis' Phase 3 results, Sagimet has recently initiated a Phase 1 first-in-human clinical trial with a second oral FASN inhibitor drug candidate, TVB-3567, that is planned to be developed for acne in the U.S. In other notable pharmaceutical industry news, GSK plc (NYSE:GSK) agreed to acquire Boston Pharmaceuticals' lead asset, efimosfermin alfa, a phase 3-ready, investigational specialty medicine for treating and preventing the progression of steatotic liver disease in May. Under the agreement, GSK will pay up to $2 billion in total cash consideration, including $1.2 billion upfront, with the potential for additional success-based milestone payments totaling $800 million. This highlights ongoing investment in the liver disease space, an area where Sagimet is also active with its MASH program.

Sagimet Biosciences Announces Positive Phase 3 Results for Denifanstat for the Treatment of Moderate-to-Severe Acne from Partner Ascletis

Denifanstat met all primary and secondary endpoints versus placebo Denifanstat was well tolerated Oral FASN inhibitors offer a novel mechanism of action for the potential treatment of moderate to severe acne Sagimet initiated first-in-human Phase 1 clinical trial of a second FASN inhibitor, TVB-3567, that is planned to be developed for acne in the U.S. SAN MATEO, Calif., June 04, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sagimet Biosciences Inc. (Nasdaq: SGMT), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing novel therapeutics targeting dysfunctional metabolic and fibrotic pathways, today reported denifanstat met all primary and secondary endpoints in a Phase 3 clinical trial for the treatment of moderate to severe acne vulgaris conducted by Sagimet's license partner Ascletis Bioscience Co. Ltd. (Ascletis) in China. Denifanstat is a once-daily oral small molecule fatty acid synthase (FASN) inhibitor being developed by Ascletis as ASC40 for acne in China and by Sagimet for MASH in the rest of world. Additionally, Sagimet recently initiated a Phase 1 first-in-human clinical trial with a second FASN inhibitor, TVB-3567, that is planned to be developed for acne in the US. 'We are highly encouraged by the positive results from Ascletis' Phase 3 acne trial in China,' said David Happel, Chief Executive Officer of Sagimet. 'FASN inhibition represents a novel potential approach to treat moderate to severe acne vulgaris, a widespread condition impacting more than 640 million people worldwide. These positive data support the rationale for our development of our FASN inhibitor TVB-3567 for moderate-to-severe acne and add to the body of evidence of the broad consequences of unchecked overactivity of FASN.' 'It is very exciting to see this novel oral acne product candidate progressing through development in light of the limited innovation within the acne space over the past 40 years,' said Dr. Neal Bhatia, Director of Clinical Dermatology at Therapeutics Clinical Research in San Diego and a past Vice President of the American Academy of Dermatology. 'These data demonstrate the significant clinical response that a FASN inhibitor can achieve for moderate to severe acne patients by addressing the overproduction of sebum and the inflammatory cascade, two of the primary pathways of acne, and most importantly through a novel mechanism of action. With currently available treatments either showing limited efficacy, high potential for irritation, or risks of antibiotic resistance, control of acne through new modes of action is more critical now than ever.' Over 50 million people suffer from acne in the US, making it one of the most prevalent skin diseases that physicians address annually. Patients with acne vulgaris have increased sebum production compared to non-acne populations which contributes to the pathogenesis of the disease. Increased sebum production is due to increased de novo lipogenesis (DNL) locally in the sebocytes. FASN is the last committed step in the DNL pathway which produces the majority (>80%) of key sebum lipids such as palmitate and sapienic acid in acne, and FASN also contributes to inflammatory pathways. Inhibition of FASN is therefore an attractive therapeutic approach to address acne. In two separate denifanstat Phase 1 clinical trials, Sagimet collected sebum as a non-invasive approach to assess FASN pharmacodynamic activity and showed that use of denifanstat led to significant reductions in sapienic acid, a sebum fatty acid produced only by de novo lipogenesis, confirming FASN inhibition. These results provided mechanistic proof of concept for FASN inhibition in sebum and provided a basis for Ascletis' successful Phase 2 and 3 clinical trials of denifanstat in acne in China. Clinical Results The Phase 3 clinical trial (NCT06192264) was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter clinical trial in China to evaluate the safety and efficacy of denifanstat for the treatment of patients with moderate to severe acne. The 480 enrolled patients were randomized 1:1 into two treatment arms to receive denifanstat 50mg or placebo, once daily for 12 weeks. Primary endpoints included the percentage of treatment success (defined as an Investigator's Global Assessment (IGA) score of 0 (clear) or 1 (almost clear) with at least a 2-point decrease from baseline), the percentage change in total lesion count, and the percentage change in inflammatory lesion count. Ascletis reported that denifanstat met all the primary and secondary endpoints. Efficacy results are summarized in Table 1 below. Table 1: Efficacy data from Phase 3 trial of Denifanstat (ASC40) in acne vulgaris Endpoints 50mg denifanstat, oral, once daily(n=240) Placebo, oral, once daily(n=240) Placeboadjusted p value % Treatment success (IGA) 33.2 14.6 18.6 <0.0001 % Change in total lesion count -57.4 -35.4 -22.0 <0.0001 % Change in inflammatory lesion count -63.5 -43.2 -20.3 <0.0001 % Change in non-inflammatory lesion count -51.9 -28.9 -23.0 <0.0001 Absolute change in total lesion count -58.3 -36.2 -22.1 <0.0001 Absolute change in inflammatory lesion count -26.6 -18.4 -8.2 <0.0001 Source: Ascletis Press Release issued June 3rd, 2025 Ascletis reported that denifanstat was generally well-tolerated. Following 12 weeks of once-daily oral administration at 50 mg, the incidence rates of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAE) were comparable between denifanstat and placebo. No incidence rate of TEAEs in any category exceeded 10%. Only two categories of TEAEs had an incidence rate of more than 5% (dry skin and dry eye reported in 6.3% and 5.9 % of denifanstat-treated subjects versus 2.9% and 3.8% in placebo-treated subjects, respectively). All denifanstat-related adverse events (AEs) were mild or moderate. There were no denifanstat-related grade 3 or 4 AEs and no denifanstat-related serious AEs (SAEs). No deaths were reported. These Phase 3 results confirm that FASN inhibition represents a potential therapeutic approach within acne. Ascletis has indicated that it plans to submit denifanstat for approval to the China National Medical Products Administration. Building on Ascletis' positive Phase 3 results, Sagimet has recently initiated a Phase 1 first-in-human clinical trial with a second oral FASN inhibitor drug candidate, TVB-3567, that is planned to be developed for acne in the U.S. About Sagimet Biosciences Sagimet is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing novel fatty acid synthase (FASN) inhibitors that are designed to target dysfunctional metabolic and fibrotic pathways in diseases resulting from the overproduction of the fatty acid, palmitate. Sagimet's lead drug candidate, denifanstat, is an oral, once-daily pill and selective FASN inhibitor in development for the treatment of metabolic dysfunction associated steatohepatitis (MASH). FASCINATE-2, a Phase 2b clinical trial of denifanstat in MASH with liver biopsy-based primary endpoints, was successfully completed with positive results. Denifanstat has been granted Breakthrough Therapy designation by the FDA for the treatment of non-cirrhotic MASH with moderate to advanced liver fibrosis (consistent with stages F2 to F3 fibrosis), and end-of-Phase 2 interactions with the FDA have been successfully completed, supporting the advancement of denifanstat into further development. Sagimet has recently initiated a Phase 1 first-in-human clinical trial with a second oral FASN inhibitor drug candidate, TVB-3567, that is planned to be developed for acne in the US.

Bluejay Therapeutics Reports First Preclinical Data for Liver-Targeted Fatty Acid Synthase (FASN) Inhibitor BJT-188 Being Investigated for the Treatment of Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatohepat

Bluejay Therapeutics BJT-188 demonstrated liver-specific potency with minimal exposure to other tissues The data are being presented at the European Association for the Study of the Liver (EASL) Congress 2025 REDWOOD CITY, Calif., May 07, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bluejay Therapeutics, a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company dedicated to developing potentially life-changing therapeutics for serious viral and liver diseases, today announced preclinical data on BJT-188, a liver-targeted fatty acid synthase (FASN) inhibitor being investigated for the treatment of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH). BJT-188 demonstrated potent FASN inhibition in preclinical models, with reduced systemic exposure that may help minimize toxicities. BJT-188 is a product of Bluejay Therapeutics' Liver-Targeting Advanced Platform (L-TAP) that integrates molecular modeling and drug design to create novel therapeutics with optimized liver-targeted distribution profiles. The data are being presented in a poster at the European Association for the Study of the Liver (EASL) Congress 2025. The poster is also available on Bluejay's website. "MASH represents a serious and growing global health challenge,' said Hassan Javanbakht, Ph.D., Chief Scientific Officer of Bluejay Therapeutics. 'While FASN inhibitors offer therapeutic potential, many have been limited by systemic side effects. Our preclinical data suggest that BJT-188 may potentially overcome these challenges by reducing systemic exposure while maintaining therapeutic efficacy in the liver. We are now moving the program into IND-enabling studies." Preclinical Characterization of BJT-188 This study evaluated the intrinsic potency of BJT-188 versus denifanstat, an investigational FASN inhibitor, by measuring in vitro inhibition of de novo lipogenesis (DNL) in primary rat, mouse and human hepatocytes. BJT-188 inhibited DNL in primary human hepatocytes with an EC₅₀ of 20.4 ± 9.9 nM and demonstrated comparable potency in rat and mouse hepatocytes. In vivo, a single oral dose of BJT-188 in rats demonstrated rapid and preferential accumulation in the liver, with similar liver targeting observed in mice. Liver-to-plasma and liver-to-skin ratios were significantly more favorable for BJT-188 compared to denifanstat. The minimal exposure to skin and other peripheral tissues suggests a lower risk of alopecia, a side effect reported with denifanstat. Additionally, in an in vivo rat study, BJT-188 inhibited palmitate formation in a dose-dependent manner, reaching up to 98% inhibition of DNL at the highest dose tested (60 mg/kg). Palmitate is the primary fatty acid produced during DNL.

Radiopharm Theranostics Doses First Patient with 18F-RAD101 in U.S. Phase 2b Imaging Study of Brain Metastasis

Phase 2b study evaluating diagnostic performance of 18F-RAD101 for suspected recurrent brain metastases from solid tumors of different origins Underscores Radiopharm's commitment to developing transformative oncology radiopharmaceuticals SYDNEY, April 28, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Radiopharm Theranostics (ASX:RAD, Nasdaq: RADX, 'Radiopharm' or the 'Company'), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing innovative oncology radiopharmaceuticals for areas of high unmet medical need, today announced the dosing of the first patient in its U.S. Phase 2b imaging study of 18F-RAD101 in suspected recurrent brain metastasis. The U.S. multicenter, open-label, single arm Phase 2b clinical trial1 is evaluating the diagnostic performance of 18F-RAD101 in 30 individuals with confirmed recurrent brain metastases from solid tumors of different origins. The primary objective of the study is concordance between 18F-RAD101 positive lesions and those seen in conventional imaging (MRI with gadolinium) in participants with suspected recurrent brain metastases. RAD101 is a novel imaging small molecule that targets fatty acid synthase (FASN), a multi-enzyme protein that catalyses fatty acid synthesis and is overexpressed in many solid tumors, including cerebral metastasis. Disruption of FASN activity allows for the accurate detection of cancer cells, representing a strongly viable target for the imaging of brain metastasis. Positive data from the Imperial College of London's Phase 2a imaging trial of 18F-RAD101 in patients with brain metastases showed significant tumor uptake that was consistent with and independent from the tumor of origin.2 'We are proud to pioneer the first U.S. clinical trial of RAD101,' said Harshad R. Kulkarni, MD, Chief Medical Advisor at BAMF Health and Principal Investigator of this Phase 2b study. 'This marks an important step toward improving diagnostic precision and enabling more evidence-based, individualized treatment decisions for patients with brain metastases following stereotactic radiosurgery.' 'This trial is an excellent illustration of BAMF Health's clinical trials platform in action,' added BAMF Health's Director of Clinical Trials. 'Our Radiopharmacy is producing the imaging agent on-site, our clinic team is caring for the patient and providing the best image in the world, and our clinical trials team expertly coordinates it all. BAMF's facility and team were built to do trials just like this.' 'Current standard of care imaging is less sensitive in discriminating between tumor recurrence and radiation necrosis in patients with brain metastasis who have received anticancer treatments, including radiation,' said Riccardo Canevari, CEO and Managing Director of Radiopharm Theranostics Ltd. '18F-RAD101 has the strong potential to improve diagnostic accuracy of brain metastases, and holds promise for discriminating between treatment effect and true progression in the more than 300,000 patients diagnosed with brain metastasis each year in the U.S. alone. We look forward to advancing this clinical trial and to reporting topline data in the second half of 2025.'
