Fecal incontinence (FI) is the inability to control bowel movements, leading to involuntary leakage of stool. It affects approximately 1 in 12 adults worldwide, with a higher prevalence among women and older individuals. There is a high unmet clinical need for better therapies, as current treatment options, such as fiber supplements, antidiarrheal medications, and biofeedback therapy, offer limited efficacy. Emerging fecal incontinence drug candidates aim to address the condition’s underlying causes, driving advancements in treatment options.

Report Coverage

The Fecal Incontinence Drug Pipeline Insight Report by the publisher gives comprehensive insights into fecal incontinence therapeutics currently undergoing clinical trials. It covers various aspects related to the details of each of these drugs under development for fecal incontinence. The fecal incontinence report assessment includes the analysis of over 100 pipeline drugs and 50+ companies. The fecal incontinence pipeline landscape will include an analysis based on efficacy and safety measure outcomes published for the trials, including their adverse effects on patients suffering from the condition, and alignment with fecal incontinence treatment guidelines to ensure optimal care practices.

The assessment part will include a detailed analysis of each drug, drug class, clinical studies, phase type, drug type, route of administration, and ongoing product development activities related to fecal incontinence.

Fecal Incontinence Drug Pipeline Outlook

Fecal incontinence is the loss of bowel control, resulting in involuntary stool leakage. It can arise from weakened anal muscles, nerve damage, chronic constipation, or diarrhea. Contributing causes may include aging, childbirth injuries, strokes, or neurological disorders. Prompt diagnosis and management are essential for improving the quality of life.

Fecal incontinence treatments encompass dietary changes, pelvic floor exercises, and medications. Biofeedback enhances the strength of anal muscles, while surgery, such as sphincter repair or nerve stimulation, can help in severe cases. Absorbent pads can manage symptoms, with personalized care ensuring better outcomes.

Fecal Incontinence Epidemiology

Fecal incontinence affects approximately 1 in 12 adults worldwide, with a higher prevalence among women and the elderly. In the United States, it impacts around 7% to 15% of the population, while in England, over 6.5 million adults face challenges with bowel control, with 1 in 10 experiencing fecal incontinence. The development of new therapies and treatments within the drug pipeline aims to address these widespread concerns and improve the quality of life for those affected by this condition.

It includes product description, trial ID, study type, drug class, mode of administration, and recruitment status of fecal incontinence drug candidates.

Biological: Iltamiocel

Iltamiocel, developed by Cook MyoSite, is an autologous muscle-derived cell (AMDC) therapy under investigation in a Phase III trial for chronic fecal incontinence in females with obstetric injury. The study aims to evaluate its efficacy and safety in reducing incontinence episodes. Iltamiocel, derived from a patient’s muscle cells, is injected into the anal sphincter to restore function, compared against a placebo in a double-blind design.

Biological: SMDC

SMDC therapy utilizes a patient’s muscle cells to restore sphincter function. It is a part of a Phase III clinical study, sponsored by Innovacell AG. The trial is designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of autologous skeletal muscle-derived cells (aSMDC) for fecal incontinence caused by external anal sphincter dysfunction. The trial, involving around 290 participants is expected to conclude in July 2026.

Drug: Botulinum Toxin A

Botulinum Toxin A (Botox) is a neurotoxin that works by blocking the release of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter responsible for muscle contraction. Shaare Zedek Medical Center is sponsoring an open-label pilot study to evaluate botulinum toxin A (Botox) for intractable non-retentive fecal incontinence (NRFI) in children. This early Phase I study aims to assess the drug’s efficacy and safety. Botulinum Toxin A, known for muscle relaxation, will be administered intra-rectally to reduce sphincter hyperactivity, with outcomes tracked over 15 weeks.
