About 141 participants will receive either paltusotine or a placebo daily for 12 weeks. The study measures how much symptoms improve compared to a placebo group.

What this could lead to

If it works, this could provide a new daily pill to better control flushing and diarrhea in people with carcinoid syndrome.
