About this study

Official title: A Phase 2, Randomized, Double Blind, Placebo Controlled Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacodynamics of Multiple Doses and Dose Levels of DDP225 in Female Patients With Irritable Bowel Syndrome With Diarrhea

In this study, female patients with IBS-d will be treated for 8 weeks to assess the safety and effectiveness of DDP225 on GI transit and in reducing IBS symptoms.

Read the detailed description

This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled, multicenter study designed to assess the safety and efficacy of DDP225 in patients with IBS-d. Female patients from 18 to 65 years of age with a history of IBS-d for at least 6 months are potentially eligible for entry into the study. A total of 88 eligible patients with IBS-d will be studied.

The total duration of study participation for an individual patient is approximately 10 weeks (74 days) from the initial screening visit to final study evaluations. The total duration of dosing with study medication (either DDP225 or placebo) is 8 weeks.

Patients who satisfy all of the inclusion criteria and none of the exclusion criteria are eligible to enter the Treatment Period and will be randomly assigned to one of four treatment groups.

After a patient is randomized and enters the Treatment Period, she will take the appropriate study medication once a day for 56 days and return to the clinic at two week intervals for a total of four visits during the Treatment Period. During the Treatment Period, patients will maintain a daily diary and complete questionnaires. One week after completing the 56-day Treatment Period, patients return to the clinic for final safety evaluations which include a physical examination, electrocardiogram, and clinical laboratory testing.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing DDP225 in people with Irritable Bowel Syndrome, run by Dynogen Pharmaceuticals at 16 sites in 2 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 6 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Oct 2007. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 16 sites in Canada, United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

GI Transit. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 15 Oct 2007.
