China Medical System Holdings Limited (CMS) announced on March 4, 2026, that its siRNA drug CMS-D008, targeting the INHBE gene in the liver, received approval from China’s NMPA to begin clinical trials for treating overweight and obesity.
The drug, administered via subcutaneous injection, aims to reduce fat accumulation while preserving muscle mass by inhibiting Activin E-ALK7 signaling, a mechanism distinct from current GLP-1 receptor agonists.
It is being developed for overweight, obese, and abdominal obesity patients with related metabolic conditions.
CMS plans to combine CMS-D008 with its investigational dual agonist CMS-D005 to enhance weight loss and long-term maintenance.
The company is advancing trials using its established R&D, manufacturing, and commercialization infrastructure in cardiovascular and metabolic diseases.
