Sagimet Biosciences Inc. reported a net loss of $10.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, an improvement from $18.2 million a year earlier. The smaller loss was driven by a 54% drop in research and development expense to $7.0 million as Phase 3 MASH work wound down and spending shifted toward acne programs.
General and administrative costs were stable at $4.7 million, while other income declined to $1.1 million due to lower cash balances and yields.

The company continues to advance FASN inhibitor programs: denifanstat, which met Phase 3 acne endpoints in China through its partner Ascletis, is planned to enter a U.S. Phase 3 acne trial after an IND filing in mid-2026, and TVB-3567 is in a Phase 1 acne study. Further MASH development will pause until non-dilutive financing is secured.
