With Chinese Medicine has been used for the management of constipation for a long time. We have tested the efficacy of MZRW granule for constipation in serial clinical trials and found it is better than the existing first-line drug. Our multidisciplinary team aims to develop CDD-2101, as a botanical drug for constipation related conditions and the advanced version CDD-2105 as a botanical drug for visceral pain and constipation related conditions based on the requirements of the U. S. FDA. Further, the mechanism of clinical efficacy will be extensively investigated.
