RedHill Biopharma (Nasdaq: RDHL) announces presentation of new analyses of Aemcolo® (rifamycin) and Movantik® (naloxegol) data at Digestive Disease Week (DDW) 2021. The Company presented three posters:
Aemcolo poster (poster number: Fr244):
Development of a New Travelers’ Diarrhea (TD) Clinical Severity Classification and its Utility in Confirming Rifamycin SV Efficacy “Antibiotics are the mainstay of treating bacterial TD; due to growing resistance, they should be reserved for use in more severe cases of the disease,” said Professor Herbert L. DuPont, Director of the Center for
Infectious Diseases, University of Texas Houston School of Public Health. “In order to help direct treatment to the most appropriate patients, we developed a new severity classification tool able to support accurate prognosis of disease course and resolution, based on extensive patient data from two Phase 3 trials in Travelers’ Diarrhea, providing significant potential clinical utility. We then used the new classifications to assess the efficacy of rifamycin, reconfirming highly statistically significant efficacy across both newly reclassified moderate and severe patient groups.”
Movantik posters:
Poster 1 (Poster Number: Sa059): Naloxegol Achieved Rapid and Sustained Improvement of Opioid-Induced Constipation (OIC) Symptoms: A Pooled Analysis of Two Global Randomized Placebo-Controlled Trials
Poster 2 (Poster Number: Sa058): Rapid Onset of Time to First Spontaneous Bowel Movement (SBM) and Predictable Efficacy of Naloxegol: Pooled Analysis of Two Global Randomized Controlled Trials
“These two new analyses demonstrate rapid and sustained efficacy of naloxegol for a broad range of bothersome OIC symptoms, positively impacting patient care. Given the challenge of OIC symptoms, early symptom relief is an important therapeutic consideration” said Prof. William D. Chey, Director of the GI Physiology Laboratory at the University of Michigan, and former Co-Editor-in-Chief of the American Journal of Gastroenterology.
