Our Phase 2 Program in NASH

Our lead product candidate, denifanstat, is an oral, once-daily pill and selective first-in-class FASN inhibitor that is currently being evaluated in an ongoing Phase 2b clinical trial in patients with NASH (FASCINATE-2). Clinical data from a completed Phase 2 clinical trial in patients with NASH (FASCINATE-1) showed that denifanstat was well-tolerated with a favorable pharmacokinetic profile.
