Trial Summary

This study was performed to determine the effect of Dolcanatide on colorectal bioactivity in healthy volunteers. 27 volunteers were randomized, 25 completed the study intervention, and 24 completed the study intervention and post-intervention procedures.

Dolcanatide was administered to the volunteers in a dose of 27mg daily for 7 days.

The study concluded that mean differences in cGMP levels, before and after treatment, were similar in both arms. Dolcanatide also did not produce a pharmacodynamics (PD) response in any volunteers in the intervention arm of the trial. Dolcanatide was well tolerated amongst all randomized subjects.

Randomized trial with two arms:

• Arms
  • Arm I: Dolcanatide 27 mg tablet daily for 7 days.
  • Arm II: Placebo tablet daily for 7 days.

Schema

The Schema is a timeline of the study. It indicates start/end points, visits expected, major testing to be done, and any other information that is crucial to understanding how the study was completed.

Here, we demonstrate that administration of oral dolcanatide 27 mg daily for 7 d to healthy volunteers did not activate GUCY2C, quantified as accumulation of its product cyclic GMP, in epithelial cells of the distal rectum. These data reveal that the enhanced stability of dolcanatide, with persistence along the rostral-caudal axis of the small and large intestine, is inadequate to regulate GUCY2C across the colorectum to prevent tumorigenesis. These results highlight the importance of developing a GUCY2C agonist for cancer prevention formulated for release and activity targeted to the colorectum.
