- “We are thrilled to share new data on the safety and efficacy of IBSRELA in adults with IBS-C at this year’s DDW Conference as we seek to continually elucidate its potential benefit in this patient population.
- These data provide additional information for both patients and prescribers as they consider IBSRELA as a potential new treatment option when symptoms of IBS-C persist despite current therapies,” said Laura Williams, MD MPH, chief medical officer of Ardelyx.
- A clinically meaningful response to tenapanor – defined as a complete spontaneous bowel movement response and an abdominal pain response in the same week for ≥6 of the first 12 treatment weeks – was observed among adults with IBS-C regardless of prior IBS-C prescription medication use.
- Per the analysis, efficacy of tenapanor was comparable, or more pronounced, in Hispanic patients than in non-Hispanic patients.
