Loperamide is a small molecule drug being studied for use in drug interaction trials and in healthy participants. It is developed by Johnson & Johnson (JNJ). The drug is currently in Phase 1 clinical development, with studies focused on evaluating its effects and interactions in controlled settings.

Who makes Loperamide?

Loperamide is developed by Johnson & Johnson, a company traded under the ticker JNJ. The drug is currently in Phase 1 clinical development, with ongoing studies evaluating its effects in healthy participants and drug interaction scenarios.

What phase is Loperamide in?

Loperamide is in Phase 1 clinical development. It has completed two Phase 1 trials, one studying drug interaction and another evaluating its effects on electrocardiogram intervals in healthy participants. The drug is investigational and not yet approved for any indication.

What clinical trials is Loperamide in?

Loperamide has been studied in two completed Phase 1 trials. NCT00806299 examined grapefruit juice interaction, and NCT04225078 evaluated its effects on electrocardiogram intervals in healthy adults. Both trials were completed, with a combined enrollment of 99 participants.

Is Loperamide FDA approved?

Loperamide is not FDA approved for the indications being studied. It is an investigational drug currently in Phase 1 clinical development, with completed trials focusing on drug interactions and healthy participant safety. Approval status beyond these studies is not established.
