Sagimet Biosciences starts key Phase 3 trial for acne drug denifanstat in the U.S.

Sagimet Biosciences has initiated a crucial Phase 3 clinical trial in the U.S. for denifanstat, an oral treatment targeting moderate to severe acne. The trial, named AURORA, aims to enroll around 800 patients, including adolescents, to support regulatory approval in the U.S. Positive Phase 3 results from Sagimet's Chinese partner, Ascletis, suggest promising efficacy, raising hopes for similar outcomes in the U.S. With an estimated 10 million Americans affected by moderate to severe acne, denifanstat could address a significant market if approved.
