Motivation: 1 in 4 adult patients in the US experience symptoms of gastroparesis – pain, bloating, nausea and vomiting – with the incidence growing rapidly due to the increasing diabetic population [1,2]. A safe and effective treatment that can be taken on a chronic basis remains a significant unmet need.
Lead Program(s): Deudomperidone (CIN-102) is a Dopamine 2/3 antagonist with prokinetic and antiemetic effects being developed to treat patients with gastrointestinal disorders currently in phase 2 of clinical development. Deudomperidone has secured composition of matter patents as well as completed a proof-of-concept study showing signals of improvement in nausea and vomiting and promising effect on gastric emptying in patients with gastroparesis.
