Slide 12: Summary
ASC30 Summary ASC30 once-daily oral tablets demonstrated up to 6.5% placebo-adjusted mean body weight reduction from baseline after 28-day treatment ASC30 tablet’s higher efficacy is supported by its higher oral drug exposures ASC30 is safe and well tolerated with only mild-to-moderate GI AEs
