Ascletis says ASC39 delivered 6.6% placebo-adjusted weight loss in obese rats and targets US FDA IND filing in Q3 2026

Ascletis said oral small-molecule amylin receptor agonist candidate ASC39 showed an EC50 of 21.4 pM for the human amylin 1 receptor, versus 21.2 pM for eloralintide. In the same assay, ASC39 had an EC50 of 846.1 pM for the human calcitonin receptor, compared with 1,350.8 pM for eloralintide. In a diet-induced obese rat study, ASC39 achieved 6.6% placebo-adjusted weight loss after once-daily oral dosing for six days, versus 5.6% for eloralintide. Vehicle-treated obese rats showed a 0.6% total body weight change from baseline over the same period.
