How XERMELO helps

Get beyond the nearest bathroom with XERMELO

In a 12-week study, 89% of people taking XERMELO had a reduction in diarrhea frequency, compared to 69% of patients who were on somatostatin analog (SSA) treatment alone.1,2

12-week study nearly 9 out of 10 people taking xermelo has a reduction in diarrhea frequency

How XERMELO was studied

In TELESTAR, a major clinical study that led to XERMELO’s FDA approval, XERMELO plus SSA was compared with SSA alone in people with Carcinoid Syndrome.1 The study included 135 participants: 45 patients took XERMELO 250 mg plus SSA; 45 patients took XERMELO 500 mg* plus SSA; and 45 patients took SSA alone. All participants were followed for 12 weeks and recorded diarrhea frequency in a daily diary.1

In the study, XERMELO was generally considered safe and well tolerated in most people.

  • The most common side effects of XERMELO include nausea, headache, increase in liver enzymes, depression, flatulence, decreased appetite, swelling of your hands and feet, fever, abdominal pain, and constipation
  • Do not take XERMELO if you have a history of hypersensitivity to telotristat or any of the ingredients in XERMELO

*The 500 mg dose was not FDA approved

Significant improvement in 12 weeks

Most patients see significant improvement in 12 weeks, and some patients may start to see results within 3 weeks1,2

Treating your Carcinoid Syndrome Diarrhea (CSD) with XERMELO plus SSA may take up to 12 weeks to reach the full effect.1 So, make sure to tell your doctor you want to stay on treatment for at least 12 weeks to get the best results.
