Frequently asked questions about Racecadotril plus ORS

What is Racecadotril plus ORS used for?

Racecadotril plus ORS is an investigational small molecule being studied for the treatment of acute diarrhea in infants, children, and adolescents. It is being evaluated in pediatric populations aged 3 months and older with conditions including diarrhea and infantile diarrhea. The drug is currently in Phase 3 clinical development.

Who makes Racecadotril plus ORS?

Racecadotril plus ORS is being developed by Abbott Laboratories, a company traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol ABT. The developer is responsible for advancing this investigational therapy through clinical trials for the treatment of acute diarrhea in pediatric patients.

What phase is Racecadotril plus ORS in?

Racecadotril plus ORS is in Phase 3 clinical development. It is an investigational drug, meaning it has not been approved by regulatory authorities and is still undergoing clinical trials to evaluate its efficacy and safety for the treatment of acute diarrhea in infants, children, and adolescents.

What clinical trials is Racecadotril plus ORS in?

Racecadotril plus ORS has been studied in two completed Phase 3 clinical trials. NCT03463512 evaluated the drug in 124 participants with diarrhea in Russia, while NCT03473561 studied it in 31 children aged 3 to 60 months with infantile diarrhea in Taiwan. Both trials are completed.

How does Racecadotril plus ORS work?

Racecadotril plus ORS is a small molecule that combines racecadotril, an enkephalinase inhibitor, with oral rehydration salts. By inhibiting enkephalinase, it reduces intestinal fluid secretion, helping to manage diarrhea. The oral rehydration salts help replace lost fluids and electrolytes.
