The drugs are designed to treat both chronic and accute gastrointestinal (GI) motility disorders, which are disorders where the normal movement of food through ones GI tract are disrupted. Tranzyme estimates that approximately 20% of adults worldwide have symptoms which would be treated by their drug candidates.[1]
In June 2010, Tranzyme entered into a license agreement with a GI-focused pharmaceutical company called Norgine. The agreement gives Norgine exclusive rights to sell ulimorelin, the Phase 3 drug, in Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Middle East, North Africa, and South Africa.
