– Fixed-dose combination of ASC36 and ASC35 (ASC36_35 FDC) demonstrated superior weight loss compared to eloralintide in combination with tirzepatide in a diet-induced obese (DIO) animal model.
HONG KONG, July 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Ascletis Pharma Inc. (HKEX: 1672, “Ascletis”) announces that preclinical data of ASC36_35 FDC, a once-monthly injection co-formulation of ASC36, a peptide amylin receptor agonist, and ASC35, a peptide GLP-1R/GIPR agonist, for the treatment of obesity, will be presented in a short oral discussion at the 62nd European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) Annual Meeting being held in Milan, Italy. The data demonstrate superior weight loss to the eloralintide in combination with tirzepatide in a diet-induced obese (DIO) animal model.
Details of the Short Oral Discussion
Abstract Title: Co-formulation of ASC36 and ASC35, once-monthly amylin receptor agonist and GLP-1R/GIPR agonist, demonstrated superior weight loss to eloralintide/tirzepatide combo in DIO rats
Short Oral Discussion Event F
Short Oral Discussion Session: SO 066 Emerging agents: amylin, oral molecules and beyond
Short Oral Discussion Station 11
Presentation Time: Thursday, October 1, 2026, 14:00 – 15:00 CEST
Presentation Number: 768
“We believe the co-formulation of ASC36 and ASC35 has the potential to lead to greater weight loss in people with obesity than eloralintide/tirzepatide combination can achieve, based on these preclinical data,” said Jinzi Jason Wu, Ph.D., Founder, Chairman and CEO of Ascletis, “The selection of these data for oral discussion at EASD 2026 reflects the importance of advancing new treatment options for patients with obesity.”
About ASC36_35 FDC
ASC36_35 FDC, a once-monthly subcutaneous (SQ) injection co-formulation of ASC36 and ASC35, is a potentially first-in-class drug candidate targeting three validated targets of amylin receptor, GLP-1R and GIPR. ASC36_35 FDC once-monthly co-formulation is Self-Assembling Lipid Depot (SALD) formulation, developed in-house utilizing Ascletis’ Ultra-Long-Acting Platform (ULAP) technology.
