Ascletis Pharma (HKG:1672) said it received promising results from Phase I clinical trials for its cholesterol drug in Australia, according to a Thursday filing with the Hong Kong bourse.
ASC47 is an adipose-targeted thyroid hormone receptor beta (THRβ) selective small molecule agonist that helps weight loss without causing muscle loss, the filing added.
The final results from the trial will be presented at a conference in 2025.
