Colonary Concepts Update

I previously wrote about the company Colonary Concepts and their development of a more palatable colonoscopy prep, something which from personal experience I can say is sorely needed. I found some updated information from their website that I reproduce below. The good news: they’ve gotten to the stage of a Phase 3 clinical trial, and their product may be ready for launch by early 2019. That would be a welcome (and long overdue!) development.

Where are you in the development process?

Our colon prep candidate is currently entering our Phase 3 clinical trial, following a successful Phase 1 at the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center, and a successful Phase 2 at the Indiana University Health and Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Centers.

Our constipation technology is currently in a Phase 1 clinical trial, targeting completion in 1H’17.

What makes your technology so different?

Instead of fasting, and needing to consume a large volume of white, viscous, unpalatable fluid, our approach features simple, tasty bars and beverages that you consume during the 24 hours before the procedure.

When will your products reach the market?

The FDA regulates colon prep products, and we’re entering our Phase 3 trial. Forecasting is tricky, but our target is to secure approvals and launch by early 2019.

Where will I be able to purchase the colon prep kits?

When our products are FDA-approved, we expect that your physician will prescribe them, just as conventional prep kits are prescribed today.
