Ascletis' First-in-Class Acne Drug Denifanstat Meets All Phase III Endpoints, Outperforms FDA-Approved Treatments

Denifanstat (ASC40), a first-in-class oral fatty acid synthase inhibitor, achieved statistically significant improvements in all primary and secondary endpoints in a Phase III trial for moderate to severe acne vulgaris.

Ascletis Completes Enrollment in Phase III Trial of Denifanstat for Acne

• Ascletis Pharma has completed enrollment of 480 patients in a Phase III clinical trial for ASC40 (denifanstat), an oral tablet for moderate to severe acne. • The trial is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study evaluating the safety and efficacy of once-daily ASC40 over 12 weeks. • Topline results from the Phase III trial are anticipated in the second quarter of 2025, potentially offering a novel acne treatment option. • ASC40, a first-in-class FASN inhibitor, has previously demonstrated efficacy and a good safety profile in a Phase II clinical trial.
