Serum phosphorus difference between placebo and tenapanor in the change from the end of the 8 week treatment period to the end of the randomized withdrawal period in Efficacy Analysis Set. The efficacy analysis was pre-defined to be a pooled analysis of all tenapanor treated patients with a minimum of a 1.2 mg/dL decrease in serum phosphorus during the 8-week treatment period
An overall responder is defined as a weekly responder for the first 6/12 weeks where both CSBM and abdominal pain response criteria were met for the week. The CSBM response criteria are defined as an increase of one or more change in average weekly CSBMs from baseline. The definition of a CSBM is as follows: A CSBM is a spontaneous bowel movement (SBM) for which the subject responds "yes" to the following question; "Did you feel like you completely emptied your bowels?" The abdominal pain response criterion is defined as a decrease of 30% or more of percent change in average weekly worst abdominal pain from baseline.

Our primary endpoint will be CSBM response, defined as an increase of at least one CSBM per week compared to baseline for at least 6 of the 12 treatment weeks. A CSBM is defined as a bowel movement that occurs naturally and is accompanied by a feeling of complete evacuation

Tenapanor is a small molecule drug developed by Ardelyx, Inc. (ticker ARDX) for gastrointestinal and renal conditions. It is being studied in chronic idiopathic constipation, chronic kidney disease, constipation predominant irritable bowel syndrome, and end stage renal disease. It is an investigational therapy in Phase 3 development and has received a priority review designation from the FDA.
Tenapanor is being developed for the treatment of chronic idiopathic constipation in adults. A Phase 3 study, NCT07382167, is recruiting 692 participants in the United States to assess its safety and efficacy over 26 weeks. The condition is also known as CIC and involves persistent difficulty with bowel movements without an identifiable cause.
Tenapanor targets SLC9A3, also known as the sodium-hydrogen exchanger 3 (NHE3). It acts as an inhibitor of this transporter. By inhibiting SLC9A3, tenapanor reduces sodium absorption in the gastrointestinal tract, which increases water retention in the gut and promotes bowel movements. This mechanism underlies its development for constipation-related conditions.
Tenapanor is developed by Ardelyx, Inc., a biopharmaceutical company that trades under the ticker symbol ARDX. Ardelyx is responsible for the clinical development program, which includes studies in chronic idiopathic constipation, irritable bowel syndrome with constipation, and other conditions. The drug is a small molecule and has received a priority review designation from the FDA.
Tenapanor is in Phase 3 clinical development. It has completed four trials and has two active trials ongoing. The Phase 3 program includes a 26-week study in chronic idiopathic constipation. The drug is investigational and has not been approved by the FDA. It has received a priority review designation, which is a regulatory status that can expedite review of a marketing application.
Tenapanor is being evaluated in several clinical trials. NCT07382167 is a Phase 3 study in chronic idiopathic constipation that is currently recruiting. NCT06460038 is a Phase 2 study in synucleinopathy-related constipation that is also recruiting. Completed trials include NCT06553547, a Phase 2 dose-ranging study in pediatric IBS-C, and NCT06203444, a Phase 1 pharmacokinetic study in lactating females.
Yes, tenapanor is also known by the code name AZD1722. Other alternative names include tenapanor 50 MG, AZD1722 (in-patient), and tenapanor 5 mg BID. These names refer to the same investigational small molecule developed by Ardelyx, Inc. for gastrointestinal and renal indications.
