Ascletis targets Q3 2026 FDA IND filing for ASC39 oral obesity tablets

Ascletis selected ASC39, an oral small-molecule amylin receptor agonist, as a clinical development candidate for obesity and said it expects to submit a U.S. FDA IND for ASC39 tablets in Q3 2026. Preclinical results were presented in the announcement, including a head-to-head cAMP assay in which ASC39 had an EC50 of 21.4 pM at hAMY1R and 846.1 pM at hCTR. In a diet-induced obese rat study, once-daily oral ASC39 (5 mg/kg) produced 6.6% placebo-adjusted weight loss over 6 days. In the same study, eloralintide produced 5.6% placebo-adjusted weight loss with once-every-three-day subcutaneous dosing (3 nmol/kg) over 6 days.
