Septerna, Inc. (Nasdaq: SEPN) said it selected SEP-204, an oral small molecule TSHR negative allosteric modulator, as a development candidate for Graves' disease and thyroid eye disease, and reported preclinical data ahead of a November 5, 2026 poster presentation at the American Thyroid Association meeting. The company plans to start a Phase 1 trial in healthy volunteers in the first quarter of 2027, but the filing reports no financial results or funding figures.
SEP-204 is designed for once-daily oral dosing, with a projected human half-life of approximately 20-40 hours.
