Ascletis Pharma Reports ASC36 Achieves Superior Weight Loss in Preclinical Obesity Studies

Ascletis Pharma Inc. has announced the selection of ASC36, a once-monthly subcutaneously administered amylin receptor agonist, as a clinical development candidate for the treatment of obesity. In preclinical studies, ASC36 showed an average observed half-life of approximately 15 days in non-human primates, which is three times longer than petrelintide, supporting its potential for once-monthly dosing in humans. Additionally, ASC36 demonstrated approximately 91% greater relative body weight reduction compared to petrelintide in a diet-induced obese rat study. The company expects to submit an Investigational New Drug Application (IND) for ASC36 to the U.S. FDA in the second quarter of 2026. These results and further plans for monotherapy and combination therapies with ASC36 were announced but have not yet been presented at a scientific conference.
