About this study

Official title: A Phase 3, Multicenter, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Parallel Study of Dexamethasone-Allantoin-Metronidazole (DAM) Solution in the Treatment of Post-Operative Ileus (POI) in Subjects Undergoing Abdominal Operation

This study is being conducted to determine whether Dexamethasone-Allantoin-Metronidazole (DAM) Solution can accelerate recovery of gastrointestinal function following abdominal operation when compared with a placebo.

Read the detailed description

Postoperative ileus (POI) is temporary slowing down or stopping of bowel function and a slowing down of movement of contents of the intestines. This functional impairment persists for a variable duration following surgery, usually resolving within 1 day in the small intestine, 1 to 3 days in the stomach and 3 to 5 days in the colon. When POI persists for more than 5 days, it is generally considered severe, sometimes referred to as complicated or prolonged POI, and increases the risk for related morbidity. This is a randomized, controlled, double-blind study designed to evaluate the tolerability and efficacy of DAM solution for the treatment of POI in patients following abdominal operation. It will be conducted at multiple centers in China. A total of 480 patients will be enrolled in the study. Patient participation in the study will last for up to postoperative day 7 [POD 7] , with follow-up safety assessments to occur 7 days after the operation.The treatment outcome measures include: 1) GI2(Time to achieve recovery of both upper and lower GI function as measured by a composite endpoint of time to the first bowel movement and time to tolerate first solid food). 2) Time to ready for discharge. 3) Time to the first flatus.

What is being measured

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

  1. Time to achieve recovery of both upper and lower GI function as measured by a composite endpoint of time to the first bowel movement and time to tolerate first solid food. This endpoint is referred to as GI2.

    Measured: 7d

Secondary outcomes (5)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing DAM and Normal Saline in people with Postoperative Ileus, run by Beijing Bozhiyin T&S Co., Ltd. at 1 site in China.

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 14 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 May 2013. 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 China. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Qing-shan Zheng, professor (13817078595, qingshan.zheng@drugchina.net), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Time to achieve recovery of both upper and lower GI function as measured by a composite endpoint of time to the first bowel movement and time to tolerate first solid food. This endpoint is referred to as GI2. (time frame: 7d). 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 29 May 2013.
