About this study
Official title: A Multicenter, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Phase 3 Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of CB-5945 for the Treatment of Opioid-Induced Constipation in Adults Taking Opioid Therapy for Chronic Non-Cancer Pain
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of CB-5945 for the treatment of opioid-induced constipation (OIC) in adults taking opioid therapy for chronic non-cancer pain.
Read the detailed description
This is a multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study in participants with OIC taking opioid therapy for chronic non-cancer pain. Approximately 600 participants (300 participants per treatment group) with OIC will be randomized at approximately 75 study centers to receive either oral 0.25 mg CB-5945 BID or oral matching placebo BID for the 12-week double-blind treatment period, followed by a 4-week follow-up period. All randomized participants will be evaluated for clinical response for duration of their study participation. All participants will be followed for safety for 4 weeks after last dose of the study medication, regardless of when they discontinue study medication. The clinical study report for this study includes pooled results for studies 5945-OIC-12-02 (NCT01901302) 5945-OIC-12-03 (NCT01901328), and 5945-OIC-12-04 (NCT01901341).

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Overall Spontaneous Bowel Movement (SBM) Responder Rates at 12 Weeks
A Spontaneous Bowel Movement (SBM) Weekly Responder (calculated for each week of the 12-week double-blind treatment period) is a participant who has ≥ 3 SBMs for the week and an increase from baseline of ≥1 SBM for the specified week, based on at least 4 Available Data Days (ADDs) during the week. A Complete SBM (CSBM) Weekly Responder is a participant who has ≥ 3 CSBMs for the specified week and an increase from baseline of ≥1 CSBM for the week.
For the definition of the primary efficacy endpoint, Overall SBM Responder is a participant who is a Weekly SBM Responder for 9 of the 12 weeks of the double-blind treatment period, including 3 of the last 4 weeks (Weeks 9, 10, 11 and 12).
Measured: 12 weeks
Secondary outcomes (2)
Change From Baseline of Chronic Opioid-Related Gastrointestinal Symptom Scale (CORGISS) Scores at 12 Weeks
The CORGISS is designed to assess GI symptoms related to opioid use in patients with chronic non-cancer pain. The CORGISS asks participants to rate the severity of GI symptoms over the previous 24 hours, with answers ranging from 0 ("did not experience") to 4 ("very severe").
Measured: Baseline, 12 weeks
Overall Complete Spontaneous Bowel Movement (CSBM) Responder Rates at 12 Weeks
A CSBM Weekly Responder is a participant who has ≥ 3 CSBMs for the specified week and an increase from baseline of ≥1 CSBM for the week. An Overall CSBM Responder is a subject who is a Weekly CSBM Responder for 9 of the 12 weeks of the double-blind treatment period, including 3 of the last 4 weeks (Weeks 9, 10, 11 and 12).
Measured: 12 weeks

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 3 study testing CB-5945 in people with Opioid-Induced Constipation, run by Cubist Pharmaceuticals LLC, a subsidiary of Merck & Co., Inc. (Rahway, New Jersey USA).
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 3 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 15 Nov 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
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?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 2 Jul 2015). 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?
Overall Spontaneous Bowel Movement (SBM) Responder Rates at 12 Weeks (time frame: 12 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 15 Nov 2018.
