Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)
Baseline (Day 1) up to follow-up (24.5 months)

An AE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant who received study drug without regard to possibility of causal relationship. A TEAE was defined as any event with a start date occurring on or after treatment Day 1 or, if pre-existing, worsening after treatment Day 1. Serious AEs were defined as death, a life-threatening AE, inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, persistent or significant disability or incapacity, a congenital anomaly or birth defect, or an important medical event that jeopardized participant and required medical intervention to prevent 1 of the outcomes listed in this definition. A summary of other non-serious AEs and all serious AEs, regardless of causality is located in Reported AE section.

Number of Participants Who Prematurely Discontinued Treatment
Baseline up to Month 24

Number of participants who prematurely discontinued treatment due to any reason were reported.

Number of Participants With Potentially Clinically Significant (PCS) Hematology and Blood Chemistry Abnormalities
Baseline up to follow-up (24.5 months)

Criteria for potentially clinically significant abnormal hematology and blood chemistry values included: hemoglobin (grams/deciliter \[g/dL\]): \<10 and ≥3 decrease, or \>20; hematocrit (%): \<30 and ≥10 decrease, or \>60; platelets (\*10\^9 cells/liter): \<100 or \>700 (normal: 150-400); white blood cells (\*10\^9 cells/liter): \<2.3 or \>16.2 (normal: 3.5-11.1); alanine aminotransferase (units/liter \[U/L\]): ≥3 \* upper limit of normal (ULN) (normal range 0-47 U/L); aspartate aminotransferase (U/L): ≥3 \* ULN (normal range 0-37 U/L); total bilirubin (micromoles/liter \[µmol/L\]): \>2 times; and calcium creatinine clearance (milliliters/minute \[mL/min\]): ≤50.

Number of Participants With Clinically Significant Change From Baseline in Vital Signs
Baseline, up to follow-up visit (Month 24.5)

Vital signs included systolic and diastolic blood pressure, pulse rate, body temperature, or body weight.

Frequently asked questions about Encapsulated Mesalamine Granules

What is Encapsulated Mesalamine Granules used for?

Encapsulated Mesalamine Granules is an investigational small molecule being developed for ulcerative colitis, a chronic inflammatory bowel disease. It is designed as a mesalamine formulation intended for gastrointestinal delivery. The drug is currently in Phase 3 clinical development and is not yet approved by regulatory authorities.

Who makes Encapsulated Mesalamine Granules?

Encapsulated Mesalamine Granules is being developed by Bausch Health Companies Inc. (NYSE: BHC). The company is conducting clinical trials to evaluate the drug's safety and tolerability in patients with ulcerative colitis. Bausch Health is responsible for the drug's development program and regulatory strategy.

What phase is Encapsulated Mesalamine Granules in?

Encapsulated Mesalamine Granules is in Phase 3 clinical development for ulcerative colitis. The drug is investigational and has not been approved by the FDA or other regulatory agencies. A Phase 3 trial has been completed, and the drug remains under clinical evaluation for this indication.

What clinical trials is Encapsulated Mesalamine Granules in?

Encapsulated Mesalamine Granules has one completed Phase 3 trial, NCT00326209, titled "Long-Term Safety and Tolerability of Mesalamine Pellets in Participants With Ulcerative Colitis in Remission." The trial enrolled 393 participants in the United States and was an uncontrolled, open-label study in adults aged 18 years and older.

Is Encapsulated Mesalamine Granules the same as mesalamine?

Encapsulated Mesalamine Granules is a formulation of mesalamine, also known as 5-aminosalicylic acid, which is an anti-inflammatory agent used for ulcerative colitis. The encapsulated granule formulation is designed for oral administration and is being studied for its long-term safety and tolerability in maintaining remission.
