Sagimet Biosciences Inc. announced that data from a Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating denifanstat, an oral fatty acid synthase (FASN) inhibitor, for the treatment of moderate to severe acne vulgaris in China will be presented at the 2025 Fall Clinical Dermatology Conference, scheduled for October 24-26, 2025, in Las Vegas, Nevada. The trial, conducted by license partner Ascletis Bioscience Co. Ltd., was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter study involving 480 patients. Denifanstat met all primary and secondary endpoints, demonstrating statistically significant improvements in treatment success rates and lesion counts compared to placebo. The drug was generally well tolerated. Ascletis has completed a pre-New Drug Application (NDA) consultation with China's National Medical Products Administration and plans to submit an NDA for denifanstat in China.
