Septerna (Nasdaq: SEPN), a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) drug discovery, has announced its participation in two upcoming investor conferences in September 2025.
The company will present at the Cantor Global Healthcare Conference on September 3 at 11:30 a.m. ET and participate in a fireside chat at the Wells Fargo Healthcare Conference on September 5 at 8:45 a.m. ET.

Septerna (NASDAQ:SEPN) has initiated its Phase 1 clinical trial for SEP-631, an oral small molecule MRGPRX2 negative allosteric modulator (NAM), marking a significant milestone in their drug development program. The trial will evaluate the drug's safety, tolerability, and pharmacological properties in up to 150 healthy adult volunteers.
The study focuses on treating chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) and other mast cell-driven diseases. SEP-631 works by selectively blocking MRGPRX2, a GPCR crucial in mast cell activation and degranulation. The trial consists of both single-ascending dose (SAD) and multiple-ascending dose (MAD) components, with SAD dosing already underway.
This development represents a potential breakthrough for patients with CSU, a systemic inflammatory skin disease characterized by persistent itchy hives and angioedema, where current antihistamine treatments often prove inadequate.
