The clinical-stage treatment, which targets the SSTR4 receptor, is an oral candidate developed as a non-opioid therapy for pain management. It is the first drug of its kind in China and the second globally to reach the clinical stage.

Following successful completion of Phase I trials in China, Phase II studies for diabetic peripheral neuropathy are planned, with potential applications across chronic and acute pain conditions.
