: The drug targets a specific protein called USAG-1 (uterine sensitization-associated gene-1). In nature, USAG-1 acts as a "biological parking brake" that prevents dormant tooth buds in the human jaw from developing into full teeth after the adult set has grown.
: The treatment is administered via an intravenous injection . By neutralizing USAG-1, the drug reactivates these dormant buds, allowing the body to use its natural BMP and Wnt signaling pathways to form new, functional teeth. Clinical Development and Trials NEWM-035
: Launched in September 2024 at Kyoto University Hospital. This phase involves 30 healthy adult males aged 30–64 who are missing at least one molar, primarily focusing on safety and dosage. : The drug targets a specific protein called
: Success in Phase I will lead to trials for children aged 2–7 with congenital anodontia (being born without a full set of teeth). Future Outlook By neutralizing USAG-1, the drug reactivates these dormant
