What is being measured

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

  1. Rate of treatment-emergent adverse events

    Measured: Reported at any time after the first dose, including the 14 days of treatment and 7 days of follow up

  2. Change from baseline 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) at day 14 of treatment

    Measured: Baseline values taken just prior to first dose (day 1) compared with values taken on the last day of treatment (day 14)

  3. Change from baseline clinical laboratory evaluations at the last day of treatment (day 14)

    Measured: Baseline values taken just prior to first dose (day 1) compared with values taken on the last day of treatment (day 14)

  4. Change from baseline vital signs at the day 14 visit and at the end of the study (7 days after the last dose)

    Measured: Baseline values taken prior to first dose (day 1) compared with values taken at the day 14 visit (14 days after first dose) and at the end of the study (21 days after the first dose)

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Post-meal Symptom Severity (PMSS) Assessment

    Assessments completed at 15 min prior to dose, just prior to dose, and every 15 minutes after the first dose through 240 minutes (4 hours after first dose)

    Measured: Completed at day 1 and day 14 of the Treatment Period

  2. Daily Patient Symptom Severity (PSS) Assessment

    Assessments recorded on a daily basis

    Measured: Average of daily assessments for the 2 weeks just prior to the first dose compared to: 1) the average of the 2 week treatment period, 2) the average of the first week of treatment and 3) the average of the second week of treatment

  3. Weekly Symptom Relief (SR) Assessments

    Assessments recorded on a weekly basis weekly

    Measured: Average of week 1 and week 2 prior to treatment compared with the week 1 and week 2 during treatment

  4. Nepean Dyspepsia Index

    Measured: Baseline NDI score (collected just prior to first dose) compared with End of Treatment NDI (collected just prior to last dose)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing IW-9179 in people with Dyspepsia and Functional Gastrointestinal Disorders, run by Ironwood Pharmaceuticals, Inc. at 15 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 7 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Mar 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 15 sites in Netherlands, Belgium. 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?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Slow enrollment). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Rate of treatment-emergent adverse events (time frame: Reported at any time after the first dose, including the 14 days of treatment and 7 days of follow up). 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 19 Mar 2014.
