Vibrant: An innovative, drug-free treatment proven to relieve your patients’ chronic idiopathic constipation
A different approach to a common problem
Constipation—the most common digestive complaint affecting 16% of the general population—is associated with substantial economic costs1.
Indication
Vibrant is indicated for the treatment of adults with chronic idiopathic constipation who have not experienced relief of their bowel symptoms by using laxative therapies at the recommended dosage for at least one month.
Unique mechanism of action designed to stimulate the colon’s natural rhythm
In patients with Chronic Idiopathic Constipation (CIC), colon activity is often out of sync.
Vibrant is a capsule that, when activated and swallowed, sends out pulsed micro-vibrations to stimulate the colon locally, which induces peristalsis and helps the colon contract mechanically, synchronizing with its biological clock2.
Proven effective and safe in clinical trials
Vibrant is a novel, non-pharmacological, intraluminal therapy that is proven to be efficacious and safe in patients with Chronic Idiopathic Constipation (CIC)2.
It is indicated for the treatment of adults with chronic idiopathic constipation who have not experienced relief of their bowel symptoms by using laxative therapies at the recommended dosage for at least one month.
Study design
Randomized, double-blind, multi-center, placebo-controlled phase 3 clinical trial with 312 adult patients diagnosed with chronic idiopathic constipation.
The primary efficacy end points were an increase of 1 or more complete spontaneous bowel movements per week (CSBM responder) or 2 or more CSBMs per week (CSBM ) from baseline during at least 6 of the 8 weeks.
Significant improvements across all efficacy measures
- Vibrant Capsule led to one additional bowel movement in approximately 40% of patients compared with 23% of people who were in the control arm2
- Approximately 23% of people taking Vibrant had two additional bowel movements per week, compared with approximately 12% of people taking placebo2
Conclusions
- Stool frequency, which was seen as early as week 1 and continued throughout the study.
- Stool frequency, other bowel and abdominal symptoms and quality of life.
The regimen established tolerability with no significant adverse events.
Vibrant provides a novel, non-pharmacological, intraluminal therapy which is effective, safe and well tolerated in patients with CIC2.
