Overview
Cirius Therapeutics’ lead candidate, azemiglitazone potassium (MSDC‑0602K), has completed a Phase IIb trial in patients with MASH and type 2 diabetes. Data presented in June 2024 showed that azemiglitazone may preserve lean muscle mass when combined with GLP‑1 receptor agonists and improve metabolic parameters. The company’s approach targets the mitochondrial pyruvate carrier to reduce insulin resistance and address multiple metabolic diseases including T2D, obesity, and MASH.
