About ASC30
ASC30 is an investigational GLP-1R biased small molecule agonist and has unique and differentiated properties that enable the same small molecule for both oral tablet and subcutaneous injection administrations. ASC30 is a new chemical entity (NCE), with U.S. and global compound patent protection until 2044.
About ASC47
ASC47 is an adipose-targeted, ultra-long-acting subcutaneously (SQ) injected thyroid hormone receptor beta (THRβ) selective small molecule agonist, discovered and developed in-house at Ascletis. ASC47 possesses unique and differentiated properties to enable adipose targeting, resulting in dose-dependent high drug concentrations in the adipose tissue. Topline data from its Phase Ib single subcutaneous injection studies in Australia in participants with elevated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) (NCT06427590) have been released. The Phase I clinical trial of ASC47 in combination with semaglutide for the treatment of obesity (NCT06972992) is ongoing in the U.S., and the first participants were dosed in May 2025.
