About this study

Official title: Double-blind, Randomised, Placebo-controlled, Parallel Group Study to Evaluate the Effect of a 4-week Treatment With Oral Doses of Ibodutant (Code: MEN15596) in Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS).

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the benefit of treatment with oral dose of Ibodutant (code: MEN 15596) on IBS symptoms and the safety and tolerability of this therapy.

Read the detailed description

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a functional disorder characterised by chronic or recurrent abdominal pain or discomfort associated with altered bowel habits. This trial aims to evaluate the efficacy of Ibodutant in improvement of IBS symptoms through a daily oral administration, testing three dosages or placebo in IBS patients for 4-weeks. In each patient, the experimental clinical phase encompasses a screening/ 2-week run-in period (no study medication), followed by a 4-weeks treatment period and a 2-weeks treatment withdrawal period, for total study duration of 8 weeks in each patient.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Ibodutant in people with Irritable Bowel Syndrome, run by Menarini Group at 6 sites in 6 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 5 inclusion and 10 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 21 Mar 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 6 sites in Denmark, Germany, Latvia, Russia, Ukraine and 1 more country. 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 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 1 Oct 2010). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Response of Overall IBS Symptom Relief - 50% Rule (time frame: Four 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 21 Mar 2012.
