What Sagimet Biosciences Inc. does

In the company’s own words

Sagimet Biosciences (Nasdaq: SGMT) is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing selective fatty acid synthase (FASN) inhibitors for diseases linked to excess palmitate production. Its lead candidate, denifanstat, is an oral, once-daily drug in development for metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH), acne and selected cancers; the company is also developing TVB-3567 for acne and a denifanstat combination with resmetirom for cirrhotic MASH. Sagimet’s development programs span MASH, acne and oncology, with denifanstat development and commercialization rights in Greater China licensed to Ascletis, which is conducting acne trials there. In 2025, the company completed a Phase 1 pharmacokinetic study of denifanstat with resmetirom, while TVB-3567 entered a Phase 1 trial. Sagimet’s principal activities are research and clinical development, rather than marketing approved products. Its website is https://www.sagimet.com/.
