Clinical Trials

A completed Phase 1 clinical trial sponsored by Alizyme evaluated the therapeutic application of cetilistat in individuals diagnosed with obesity. This study focused on characterizing the repeat-dose pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profiles across distinct dosage regimens of the inhibitor. Overall, documented clinical research for cetilistat remains centered on early-phase evaluation for the management of obesity.

Compliance for Clinical Use

Mechanism and Biochemical Profile

Cetilistat acts as a highly lipophilic benzoxazinone derivative that selectively inhibits gastrointestinal and pancreatic lipases, thereby preventing the enzymatic breakdown and hydrolysis of dietary triglycerides within the lumen of the digestive tract. By blocking the intestinal absorption of unhydrolyzed dietary fats, this mechanism reduces systemic caloric uptake and promotes fecal lipid excretion, which directly correlates with its therapeutic investigation for obesity.

Appendix RUO and cGMP Quality Standards
