How Colal-Pred works

Colal-Pred is the combination of Alizyme's proprietary colonic drug delivery system, colal, and prednisolone metasulfobenzoate sodium ("PMSBS"), an approved steroid in Europe. colal-PRED has a starch coating that is only broken down in the gut by bacteria occurring in the colon. This leads to topical delivery of PMSBS to the colon rather than systemic delivery with the objective of providing efficacy, but without the side effects of steroids; however, the efficacy and safety of colal-PRED must be shown in well-controlled, prospective clinical trials and approved by the FDA.
