FTSE Russell determines membership for its Russell indexes primarily by objective, market-capitalization rankings and style attributes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe believe inclusion in the Russell indexes reflects the meaningful progress Sagimet has made over the last year, as we plan to initiate our U.S. Phase 3 clinical trial of denifanstat in moderate to severe acne, including adolescent patients aged 12 years and older, in the second half of this year. If approved, denifanstat would be the first innovative oral treatment for acne vulgaris in patients aged 12 years and older in more than forty years,\u201d said David Happel, Chief Executive Officer of Sagimet. \u201cWith the capital in place to fund our programs through 2028, including data readout of our planned denifanstat Phase 3 clinical trial in acne, we look forward to the broader visibility that inclusion in the Russell indexes brings.\u201d<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">For further information on Russell index methodology and reconstitution, please visit FTSE Russell at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/Tracker?data=zLSNo1bodmyIA4Cfig8KeOrsYCGGXM4dw-TXcRv2CwiVBid2HxIzwri2gOJkiomF5Or7c4HWSqTk7Z3eAtmJcCFoT4YmUEJysFAv_z5mUUhCC59CMWNauGVwTxKv7Bs8\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">www.lseg.com\/en\/ftse-russell<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>About\u00a0Sagimet Biosciences<\/strong>\n      <\/p>\n<p>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.
