Approach

CinDome Pharma, a CinRx portfolio company, is advancing deudomperidone (CIN-102) for the treatment of chronic gastroparesis. Gastroparesis, or delayed gastric emptying, occurs when the stomach does not empty normally, causing abdominal discomfort, severe nausea, or vomiting after eating. These symptoms can be hard to manage and lead to other complications.

An estimated 12-16 million people in the United States alone experience symptoms of gastroparesis and there is no long-term treatment for this debilitating condition. The incidence is growing on pace with type 2 diabetes.

Deudomperidone is a novel formulation of a well-known dopamine D2/D3 antagonist. Deudomperidone was designed to improve safety while maintaining the efficacy of domperidone, which has both prokinetic and antiemetic effects with no anticholinergic activity.

There is a lack of safe, well-tolerated and chronic treatments for gastroparesis.

Metoclopramide, the only FDA-approved, short-term medicine in the U.S., carries a black box warning due to the risk of tardive dyskinesia as it crosses the blood brain barrier.

Domperidone is the first-line treatment outside of the U.S. and is available only for short-term use. Domperidone is not approved in the U.S. in part due to a perceived cardiovascular risk associated with QT prolongation.

Deudomperidone (CIN-102) is a new chemical entity based upon deuteration and novel formulation of domperidone, a frequently prescribed first-line therapy for nausea, vomiting and gastroparesis outside of the U.S. In part due to safety concerns around QT prolongation, domperidone is not approved in the U.S. Deudomperidone has been engineered to alter the PK profile for sustained efficacy while significantly reducing cardiac liability. Multiple clinical trials of deudomperidone demonstrated it was well tolerated, including no sponsor-assessed drug related adverse events (AEs) or clinically meaningful laboratory abnormalities. CIN-102 was deemed to have no meaningful impact on QT at exposures well above a therapeutic dose in a thorough QT study and demonstrated target engagement and improvement in gastric emptying time in a previous Phase 2a trial.

Phase 2 Clinical Trials

CinDome is currently advancing two Phase 2 studies to evaluate the efficacy and safety of CIN-102 in adults:
