NeuroBo Pharmaceuticals Doses First Patient in Its Phase 2a Clinical Trial Evaluating DA-1241 for the Treatment of NASH

“Dosing the first patient, on time, is a testament to our commitment to the clinical development of DA-1241 in patients with NASH,” stated Hyung Heon Kim, President and Chief Executive Officer of NeuroBo. “Based on the pre-clinical and clinical evidence generated to date, DA-1241 has demonstrated reduced hepatic steatosis, hepatic inflammation, and liver fibrosis, while also improving glucose control, and was shown to be well tolerated in both healthy volunteers and in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Given this data, we believe that the mechanism of action of this promising cardiometabolic asset will translate into a safe and effective treatment for NASH, a disease with no current treatment options. The two-part design of this trial provides optionality for a potential interim analysis in the first half of 2024 and we expect to report the full data in the second half of 2024.”
