Telotristat Etiprate

Telotristat Etiprate

General Information

Telotristat ethyl is a prodrug of telotristat that was approved by the FDA in March 2017 as Xermelo. It was previously referred to as telotristat etiprate, the hippurate salt form; however, the FDA recommends the use of the name of the neutral form rather than that of the salt. Currently, telotristat ethyl is used to treat carcinoid syndrome diarrhea from neuroendocrine tumors that are inadequately controlled by short-acting somatostatin analog (SSA) treatment.
