About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study of Rezular (Arverapamil) in the Treatment of Irritable Bowel Syndrome With Diarrhea (IBS-D)

The purpose of the study is to determine the efficacy and safety of Rezular (arverapamil) in the treatment of IBS-D.

Read the detailed description

We have fulfilled our enrollment requirements for this study.

This study has been designed as a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled parallel dose group trial. The study will be open to both women and men. At screening the patient will be assessed to see if they meet the Rome III criteria for IBS-D. After screening, patients will undergo a 14-day run-in period evaluation, during which eligibility to be randomized to drug or placebo will be determined. Patients will complete daily telephone diaries during the run-in and double-blind phases of the study. Patients will be evaluated at regularly scheduled clinic visits during double-blind phase of the study.

Patients who complete the study may have the opportunity to rollover to the open-label one-year safety study (ARDIS-3).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Rezular 15mg and Rezular in people with Irritable Bowel Syndrome With Diarrhea, run by AGI Therapeutics, 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 1 inclusion and 5 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 11 Jun 2009. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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?

Adequate Relief (time frame: 8 weeks). 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 11 Jun 2009.
