Recent Developments

  • On April 30, 2014, Synergy announced positive top-line results from a phase 2b dose-ranging study assessing plecanatide’s safety and efficacy in 424 patients with IBS-C. The primary objective of this trial was to determine an effective, safe and well tolerated dose for plecanatide phase 3 trials with IBS-C patients. Preliminary analysis of the data indicates plecanatide 1.0, 3.0 and 9.0 mg doses demonstrated statistically significant improvement in complete spontaneous bowel movement (CSBM) frequency – the study’s primary endpoint – and was safe and well tolerated at all doses. Notably, patients taking the plecanatide 3.0 mg dose consistently experienced statistically significant improvement in important secondary endpoints such as change from baseline versus placebo in worst abdominal pain and the FDA overall responder endpoint for IBS-C over the 12-week treatment. Patients in the plecanatide 3.0 mg dose group also experienced a less than 10% diarrhea rate. Once full analysis of the data is complete, Synergy plans to present complete results of the trial at an appropriate scientific conference this fall. The company intends to initiate pivotal phase 3 trials with IBS-C patients in the second half of 2014.
