(Nasdaq: SGMT), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing novel therapeutics targeting dysfunctional metabolic and fibrotic pathways, today announced positive results in the Phase 1 pharmacokinetic (PK) trial of a combination of its oral once-daily fatty acid synthase (FASN) inhibitor, denifanstat, and a thyroid hormone receptor beta (THR-\u03b2) agonist, resmetirom.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">The Phase 1 PK trial (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/Tracker?data=fhbBu4ifIhCaOanOAitVeGqO9L03CvHmy-nu_dDqjZKzOuZBbeEcBSvh8pUPPj9JLmfSCQQLzPIMWdN1A9wywrqD0UENqgQvfHoUMjotl9CVNr-UHIebgiiBWUkjjr1Z\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">NCT07216313<\/a>) of denifanstat and resmetirom was an open-label, 2-cohort study that enrolled 40 healthy adult participants. The objectives were to evaluate multiple-dose and single-dose pharmacokinetics, identify any potential drug-drug interactions (DDIs), and assess the safety and tolerability of the combination.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">The combination of denifanstat and resmetirom was generally well-tolerated over the duration of the study, with no safety signals. No Serious\u00a0Adverse\u00a0Events (SAEs) occurred, and there were no clinically significant laboratory results, and no treatment discontinuations.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Sagimet plans to use these data to advance the development of the combination into a Phase 2 proof-of-concept efficacy trial for patients living with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) with F4 fibrosis, subject to consultation with regulatory authorities.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\u201cThe successful completion of the Phase 1 PK trial is an important step in our journey to develop a new, potentially synergistic combination treatment for MASH. Patients with cirrhosis of the liver associated with MASH currently have no approved options and our goal is to combine two therapies with complementary mechanisms of action into a single tablet to address this underserved medical need,\u201d said\u00a0David Happel, Chief Executive Officer of Sagimet. \u201cOur recent presentations at AASLD demonstrated denifanstat\u2019s ability to address advanced fibrosis in MASH patients, including in fibrosis stage qF4 as defined by AI-based digital pathology, and we previously have presented preclinical data demonstrating the synergistic effect of a FASN inhibitor combined with resmetirom on important liver disease markers. With these Phase 1 data in hand, we plan to consult with regulators on the design of a proof-of-concept Phase 2 study, which we plan to initiate in the second half of 2026. Following our recent announcement of a global license agreement with TAPI, a TEVA affiliate, we look forward to drawing on the licensed innovative forms of resmetirom API to develop a convenient, once-daily pill fixed dose combination product to test in Phase 3 for patients living with liver cirrhosis.\u201d<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Denifanstat, Sagimet&#8217;s lead product candidate, is an oral, once daily selective FASN inhibitor in development for the treatment of MASH. Its anti-fibrotic mechanism of action coupled with its inhibition of liver fat synthesis and inflammation may be complementary to a fat oxidizer molecule such as resmetirom. Resmetirom is commercially available as Rezdiffra for the treatment of non-cirrhotic MASH with moderate to advanced fibrosis (F2 to F3). Pre-clinical data presented at EASL in 2024 showed in two mouse models of MASH that the combination of a FASN inhibitor (TVB-3664, a mouse surrogate for denifanstat) and resmetirom had a synergistic effect on important markers of liver disease, including improvement of NAS (NAFLD Activity Score) by histologic analysis and more robust improvement in hepatic collagen content compared to the single agents.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\n        <strong>About Sagimet Biosciences\u00a0<\/strong>\n      <\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Sagimet is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing novel FASN inhibitors designed to target dysfunctional metabolic and fibrotic pathways in conditions resulting from the overproduction of the fatty acid, palmitate. Denifanstat, an oral, once-daily pill, met all primary endpoints in its Phase 2b FASCINATE-2 clinical trial in MASH as well as all primary and secondary endpoints in Sagimet\u2019s license partner for China\u2019s Phase 3 clinical trial in moderate-to-severe acne. A combination of denifanstat and resmetirom was tested in a Phase 1 PK clinical trial and is planned to be developed for patients with MASH cirrhosis (F4). TVB-3567, a second oral FASN inhibitor which is planned to be developed for acne, is currently being tested in a Phase 1 first-in-human clinical trial.

MASH is characterized by the build-up of fat in the liver and various degrees of inflammation and fibrosis along with systemic metabolic changes including dyslipidemia (increased fat levels in blood) and insulin resistance. Patients with moderate to severe disease who have advanced fibrosis (F3) or cirrhosis (F4) have the highest risk of liver-related outcomes such as decompensation, hepatocellular carcinoma, and liver transplantation. There are few approved treatments for non-cirrhotic MASH (stages F1, F2 and F3 fibrosis) and no approved treatments for MASH cirrhosis (F4).<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\n        <strong>Forward-Looking Statements<\/strong>\n      <\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of, and made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of, The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
