In March 2017 Synergy Pharmaceuticals Inc. announced that the company has submitted a supplemental New
Drug Application (sNDA) for TRULANCE™ (plecanatide) for the treatment of adults with irritable bowel syndrome
with constipation (IBS-C). The application is based on data from two randomized, 12-week, double-blind,
placebo-controlled Phase 3 studies evaluating the efficacy and safety of TRULANCE for the treatment of adults
with IBS-C. In both trials, TRULANCE 3 mg and 6 mg doses met the primary endpoint showing statistical
significance in the percentage of patients who were Overall Responders compared to placebo during the 12-week
treatment period. (Study 1: 21.5% in 3 mg and 24.0% in 6 mg dose groups compared to 14.2% in placebo; p=0.009
for 3 mg and p<0.001 for 6 mg; Study 2: 30.2% in 3 mg and 29.5% in 6 mg dose groups compared to 17.8% in
placebo; p<0.001 for 3 mg and p<0.001 for 6 mg)
PharmGPS Prediction: The recent sNDA filing of Trulance has validated the analysis done by
PharmGPS as the molecule was rated as one of the top contenders for IBS-C just next to Linzess
as early as in early phase II.
