Ascletis Pharma Inc. has been involved in legal proceedings with Viking Therapeutics, Inc. over the importation of its drug candidates, ASC41 and ASC43F. In October 2024, the United States International Trade Commission issued an initial determination finding a violation of Section 337, recommending a seven-year exclusion order for these drugs. ASC41 is developed for treating non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and targets thyroid hormone receptor beta (THRβ), while ASC43F is a fixed-dose combination targeting both THRβ and farnesoid X receptor $(FXR)$ for NASH treatment. Despite the ruling, Ascletis believes the outcome will not have a material adverse effect on its business and is seeking legal advice for an appeal. The company is committed to protecting its trade secrets and will provide updates on any significant developments.
