A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11857510B2) discloses a method for treating secretory diarrhea associated with Microvillous Inclusion Disease (MVID) in subjects, particularly human infants requiring parenteral nutrition. The method involves administering a composition containing isolated proanthocyanidin polymer from Croton lechleri, specifically crofelemer, in an aqueous vehicle at a dose of 2 mg/kg to 10 mg/kg per day. This treatment is recommended to be initiated after the subject begins exhibiting symptoms of MVID, ideally within the first month or year of birth.
Furthermore, the patent claims that the subject can be considered treated if there is an improvement in nutritional status or electrolyte balance, along with specific indicators such as a decrease in the number of bowel movements per day, a decrease in watery bowel movements, an improvement in daily abdominal pain or discomfort scores, or an enhancement in daily stool consistency. The method emphasizes the importance of administering the proanthocyanidin polymer composition from Croton lechleri within the specified dosage range multiple times a day to effectively manage secretory diarrhea associated with MVID. This patent provides a novel approach to addressing a specific medical condition in vulnerable populations, highlighting the potential benefits of utilizing natural compounds for therapeutic purposes.
