AstraZeneca will receive an exclusive license to develop and commercialize ECC5004, a small molecule GLP-1 receptor agonist, for the potential treatment of obesity, type-2 diabetes and other comorbidities, in all territories except China.
The proceeds will support the development of Eccogene’s clinical-stage programs including Phase I trial of ECC5004, a small molecule GLP-1 receptor agonist for obesity and type 2 diabetes, and the Phase I trial of ECC4703, a THRb full agonist for NASH and lipid disorders.
ECC4703 was discovered from Eccogene's internal drug discovery platform. It is a β-selective, liver targeting THR full agonist. ECC4703 has demonstrated superiority in pre-clinical studies over partial agonist MGL-3196.
The trial is a Phase 1, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, sequential single- and multiple ascending dose clinical trial to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics of ECC0509 in healthy volunteers.
