About this study

Official title: A Phase 2 Double-Blind, Randomized, Placebo-Controlled, Parallel Group Study of the Pharmacodynamic Effects of Orally Administered 100ug and 1000ug QD MD-1100 Acetate on Gastrointestinal Transit in Patients With Constipation Predominant Irritable Bowel Syndrome (C-IBS)

  • The primary objective of this trial is to compare the dose-ranging pharmacodynamic effects of orally administered placebo, and 100 and 1000 ug qd of MD-1100 Acetate on gastrointestinal transit in patients with C-IBS.
  • The secondary objectives of this trial are:
  1. To compare the dose ranging pharmacodynamic effects of placebo, and 100 and 1000 ug MD-1100 Acetate once daily on time to first bowel movement after first drug intake.
  2. To describe and summarize the effects of placebo, and 100 and 1000 ug MD-1100 Acetate once daily on stool frequency, stool consistency, ease of passage and sensation of incomplete evacuation during the Treatment Period relative to Baseline.
Read the detailed description

Using a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, parallel group study design, the effects of placebo and two different doses of orally administered MD-1100 Acetate on gastric emptying, small bowel transit and total colonic transit will be compared and evaluated in patients with C-IBS.

After eligibility is confirmed, the patient will return for baseline measurement of colonic transit to ensure that the transit profile is not greater than the mean transit profile of healthy controls in order to avoid a ceiling effect. A patient must have a geometric center of ≤2.65 at 24 hours, or ≤3.0 at 24 hours and ≤3.9 at 48 hours in order to be randomized to a 5-day Treatment Period of study medication. Eligible patients will receive oral study medication for 5 days during which colonic transit will be measured.

Approximately 36 (n=36) patients will be randomized to one of three different treatment groups: placebo (n=12), 100 ug MD-1100 (n=12), or 1000 ug MD-1100 (n=12). All dosing of study medication will be supervised at the Mayo Clinic.

Patients will complete a daily Stool Diary to record bowel habits for 5 consecutive days during the Pretreatment Period and then for the 5 consecutive days of the Treatment PeriodPhysical examinations, vital signs, electrocardiograms, and clinical laboratory tests will be performed throughout the study and adverse events will be recorded for safety evaluation.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • MD-1100 AcetateDrug

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. (Safety) AEs to be collected beginning with patient's first administration of study medication through final study visit

  2. Clinical chemistry, hematology, and urinalyses to be performed before and after the Treatment Period

  3. Cardiac safety will be monitored by ECG recordings

  4. (Efficacy) Primary endpoints for analysis of efficacy are the colonic geometric center (GC) at 24 hours and ascending colon t1/2 values.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Secondary transit endpoints will be gastric emptying t1/2, colonic filling at 6 hours, colonic GC at additional time points including 48 hours, and time to first bowel movement after the first dose of medication.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing MD-1100 Acetate in people with Irritable Bowel Syndrome, run by Ironwood Pharmaceuticals, Inc. at 1 site in United States.

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 5 inclusion and 9 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 20 Oct 2006. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in 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?

(Safety) AEs to be collected beginning with patient's first administration of study medication through final study visit. The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. 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 20 Oct 2006.
